This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the literature of this entity. Furthermore, two case reports of our own clinical experience are presented. PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, and Web of Science were searched for articles on INAs of the infrapopliteal segment from January 1990 to September 2023. Article screening and selection were performed adhering to PRISMA guidelines. A total of 98 articles were screened and 20 were eligible for inclusion, of which all were case reports. In total, 22 patients with 28 infrapopliteal INAs were identified. The majority of INAs were located in the tibioperoneal trunk (<i>n</i> = 10, 36%) followed by the posterior tibial artery (<i>n</i> = 7, 25%). A current, or history of, infective endocarditis (IE) was described in 18 out of 22 patients (82%). Two patients died during hospitalization and one patient required a transfemoral amputation. A conservative antibiotic-only approach was chosen in three out of 28 INAs, two of which were the case reports described in this article; surgical or endovascular intervention was performed in 19 out of 28 aneurysms. No complications occurred in the conservative group, but one complication (transfemoral amputation) occurred in the interventional group. Infrapopliteal INA is a rare entity, and most described cases are precipitated by IE. Surgery or endovascular treatment might be indicated, but more research is warranted to define which patient would benefit and by what surgical approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"443-450"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140874882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) represents a cerebral arteriopathy with systemic involvement, commonly affecting the renal and carotid arteries. In adults, FMD diagnosis and classification typically relies on angiographic features, like the 'string-of-beads' appearance, following exclusion of other diseases. Pediatric FMD (pFMD) is considered equivalent to adult FMD although robust evidence for similarities is lacking. We conducted a comprehensive literature review on pFMD and revealed inherent differences between pediatric and adult-onset FMD across various domains including epidemiology, natural history, histopathophysiology, clinical, and radiological features. Although focal arterial lesions are often described in children with FMD, the radiological appearance of 'string-of-beads' is highly nonspecific in children. Furthermore, children predominantly exhibit intimal-type fibroplasia, common in other childhood monogenic arteriopathies. Our findings lend support to the notion that pFMD broadly reflects an undefined heterogenous group of monogenic systemic medium-or-large vessel steno-occlusive arteriopathies rather than a single entity. Recognizing the challenges in categorizing complex morphologies of cerebral arteriopathy using current classifications, we propose a novel term for describing children with cerebral and systemic vascular involvement: 'cerebral and systemic arteriopathy of childhood' (CSA-c). This term aims to streamline patient categorization and, when coupled with advanced vascular imaging and high-throughput genomics, will enhance our comprehension of etiology, and accelerate mechanism-targeted therapeutic developments. Lastly, in light of the high morbidity in children with cerebral and systemic arteriopathies, we suggest that investigating for systemic vascular involvement is important in children with cerebral arteriopathies.</p>","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":"29 3","pages":"328-341"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11188572/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141427757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
