Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to report changes in the annual incidence of invasive treatment, changes in invasive treatment modalities, and sex differences in patients treated for intermittent claudication (IC) due to infra-inguinal lesions in Sweden between 2009 and 2022.
Methods: Data were collected from the Swedish Vascular Registry (Swedvasc), including all registrations of invasive treatment for infra-inguinal IC in Sweden between 2009 and 2022.
Results: The annual incidence of invasive treatments showed no statistically significant change between 2009 and 2022 (p = .21). The proportion of open surgery decreased from 38.1% in 2009 to 23.4% in 2022 (p < .001). Endovascular and hybrid interventions increased from 56.9% to 69.7% (p < .001) and from 4.8% to 7.0% (p < .001), respectively, between 2009 and 2022 according to time trend analysis. The decrease in open surgery was due to a reduction in bypass surgery from 18.8% in 2009 to 4.0% in 2022 (p < .001). The proportion of common femoral artery thromboendarterectomy remained unchanged (p = .24). During the study period, 42.7% of invasive treatments were performed in women. Open surgery was more frequently performed in men than women during the study period (32.5% vs. 24.0%; p < .001). However, endovascular intervention was statistically significantly more often performed in women than men during the study period (70.7% vs. 61.6%; p < .001).
Conclusion: The annual incidence of invasive treatment for infra-inguinal IC in Sweden was unchanged between 2009 and 2022. The proportion of endovascular interventions increased and accounted for 70% of invasive treatments in 2022, whereas bypass surgery decreased by 79%. Women were more often treated with endovascular intervention than men.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery is aimed primarily at vascular surgeons dealing with patients with arterial, venous and lymphatic diseases. Contributions are included on the diagnosis, investigation and management of these vascular disorders. Papers that consider the technical aspects of vascular surgery are encouraged, and the journal includes invited state-of-the-art articles.
Reflecting the increasing importance of endovascular techniques in the management of vascular diseases and the value of closer collaboration between the vascular surgeon and the vascular radiologist, the journal has now extended its scope to encompass the growing number of contributions from this exciting field. Articles describing endovascular method and their critical evaluation are included, as well as reports on the emerging technology associated with this field.
