tool for passive means for diagnostic<br />

observation; used with imagination it<br />

can become an important surgical<br />

instrument”.<br />

Planting the seeds of Interventional Radiology<br />

by Charles T Dotter


INTERVENTION RADIOLOGY<br />

The procedure should be undertaken only<br />

if there is a clear clinical indication<br />

Any procedure should d be in the best<br />

interest of the patient<br />

The potential benefits of the procedure<br />

should d outweigh the risk


Analgesia and Sedatio<br />

Interventional techniques require patient<br />

co-operation.<br />

operation.<br />

The patient must be comfortable and pain<br />

free.<br />

The vast majority of work involves – sedation<br />

and analgesic techniques.

PTA<br />

- percutaneous transluminal angioplasty<br />

PTA increases the luminal diameter of a<br />

stenotic artery by causing plaque fracture,<br />

often with accompanying local intima-<br />

medial dissection.

Balloon Angioplasty<br />

1975<br />

A. Grüntzig


PTA Mechanism<br />

Vessel wall permanent „overstretching“<br />

Plaque remodelation/compression<br />

Intima/medie controlable<br />

dissection/rupture


PTA<br />

Indications (extremity PTA)<br />

1. Lifestyle-limiting limiting claudication.<br />

2. Critical ischemia (rest pain, ulcer, gangrene).<br />

3. To increase inflow or outflow prior to or after<br />

bypass surgery.<br />

4. Bypass graft stenosis.<br />

The balloon diameter should be equal to the adjacent<br />

normal vessel diameter.


PTA<br />

Contraindications (extremity PTA)<br />

Absolute<br />

1. Patient is medically unstable.<br />

2. Stenosis is not hemodynamically significant.<br />

3. Stenosis is immediately adjacent to an<br />

aneurysm.<br />

4. Ulcerative disease with evidence of distal<br />

embolization is present.

STENTS<br />

•balloon-expandable<br />

•self-expandableexpandable<br />

Aim of stent implantation is to keep<br />

arterial lumen widely open with smooth<br />

surface. It prevents „recoil“,, but it does<br />

not prevent intimal hyperplasia or<br />

atherosclerosis progression.


Stent Design<br />

Stents (a form of scaffolding used to contain and reinforce the<br />

patency of a biological conduit)<br />

TREATMENT OF VENOUS<br />

THROMBOSIS


Deep vein thrombosis<br />

= DVT<br />

DVT is serious and potentially life<br />

threatening disease, often resulting<br />

in complications such as pulmonary<br />

embolism, phlegmasia cerulea dolens,<br />

and post-thrombotic syndrome.


DVT<br />

Risk factors:<br />

1. Surgery, esp. on legs / pelvis (orthopedic)<br />

2. Severe trauma<br />

3. Prolonged immobilization<br />

4. Malignancy<br />

5. Obesity<br />

6. Diabetes<br />

7. Pregnancy and for 8 – 12 weeks postpartum


DVT<br />

Risk factors:<br />

8. Oral contraceptives<br />

9. Decreased cardiac function<br />

10. Age > 40 years<br />

11. Varicose veins<br />

12. Previous DVT<br />

13. Patients with blood group A > blood group O<br />

14. Polycythemia<br />

15. Smoking


DVT<br />

Localization:<br />

1. Dorsal calf veins<br />

(± ascending thrombosis)<br />

2. Iliofemoral veins<br />

(± descending thrombosis)<br />

3. Peripheral + iliofemoral veins simultaneously


Diagnosis of suspected (symptomatic)<br />

acute DVT<br />

• Local symptoms due to obstruction<br />

(warmth, swelling, blanching of skin / blue leg, pain)<br />

• Duplex US or IPG<br />

• Venography or MRV (CTV)


Venous <strong>intervention</strong>s<br />

Acute<br />

OCCLUSION<br />

Chronic


Therapy of DVT<br />

• Standard heparin therapy<br />

• Systemic thrombolysis<br />

• Surgical thrombectomy<br />

• Catheter-directed thrombolysis<br />

• Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy<br />

• Combination of more techniques


Heparin therapy<br />

Only 10% of patients have spontaneous<br />

lysis of their DVT within 10 days of<br />

heparin therapy, and up to 40% of patients<br />

continue to have propagation of thrombus<br />

despite treatment with heparin.<br />

(Sherry S. Semin Intervent Radiol 4:331-337, 1985)<br />

(Krupski WC, et al. J Vasc Surg 12:467-475, 1990)


Thrombolytic therapy<br />

The resulting benefits would be expected to include:<br />

1) improved if not normalized venous circulatory<br />

hemodynamics,<br />

2) decreased circulatory burden on the superficial<br />

venous system with reduced varix formation,<br />

3) decreased collateral formation,<br />

4) reduced damage to the venous valves.<br />

(eds): Venous <strong>intervention</strong>al radiology with clinical perspectives. New York,Thieme<br />

Medical Publishers, 1996)


DVT<br />

Indication<br />

1) Symptomatic iliofemoral thrombosis<br />

(≤ 10 days)<br />

2) Phlegmasia cerulea dolens

lower extremity DVT: Report of a<br />

national multicenter registry<br />

Mewissen MW, Seabrook GR, Meissner MH, et al. Radiology 211:39-49, 1999.<br />

The Venous Registry described treatment of 303 limbs in 287<br />

patients with acute and chronic lower extremity DVT treated with<br />

urokinase (mean, 7.8 million U and 53.4 hours), the overall complete<br />

and partial lysis rate was 83% with a 1-year patency rate of 60%.<br />

Patients with complete lysis had higher 1-year patency rate (79%).<br />

Iliofemoral thromboses fared significantly better than<br />

femoropopliteal thromboses (no iliac involvement) with 1-year<br />

patency rates of 79% and 64%, respectively.

(Actilyse; Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma KG, SRN)<br />

1) 0.5 →1.0 mg/h (0.12 → 2.0 mg/h)<br />

2) Total dose should not exceed 20 - 40 mg<br />

3) Delivery (pulsed spray vs. drip infusion) not crucial<br />

4) Concomitant heparin: 500 IU/h; PTT: 1.25 - 1.5 times<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

Catheter-directed thrombolysis is effective<br />

and safe (lower dose of thrombolytic<br />

agent and heparin).<br />

Inferior vena cava filters are rarely<br />

necessary.


CONCLUSION<br />

Mechanical thrombectomy is a potential<br />

therapeutic option in patients with proximal DVT.<br />

PMT and catheter-directed thrombolysis reduce<br />

the required thrombolytic dose and infusion<br />

duration.<br />

Clinical experience with mechanical devices is<br />

quite limited at present, prospective randomized<br />

trials are necessary.


CONCLUSION<br />

Any hemodynamically significant residual<br />

occlusive disease in the IVC or iliac or<br />

proximal femoral venous segments should<br />

be treated with endovascular stent<br />

placement.


CONCLUSION<br />

The goal in the treatment of DVT is<br />

completing the procedure in a single day<br />

without to resort to a costly overnight<br />

admission to a Critical Care Unit, the best<br />

as an outpatient (LMWH).

Rationale for thrombus fragmentation<br />

Mechanical fragmentation and peripheral dispersion<br />

of clots is likely to reduce PAP and increase perfusion

The endovascular approach can be helpful<br />

in patients with severe underlying<br />

coexistent morbidity and a high risk for<br />

surgery.<br />

The recovery time in patient treated<br />

endovasculary is substantially shorter.


Indications<br />

peripheral arterial and venous<br />

vasculature<br />

intracranial aneurysms<br />

neuro-vascular abnormalities<br />

(arterio-venous malformations,<br />

arterio-venous fistulae)

It is a platinum coil<br />

covered with an<br />

expandable hydrogel<br />

polymer offering<br />

unique mechanical<br />

occlusion.<br />

It is available in 2<br />

version pushable &<br />

detachable.


Peripheral Hydrocoil<br />

It is offering superior<br />

volume filling and<br />

packing density:<br />

• Up to 5 times more<br />

than conventional coils<br />

OCCLUDERS<br />

Amplatzer septal occluder<br />

Amplatz vascular plugs<br />

other devices<br />

homemade occluders<br />

detachable balloons


Amplatzer vascular plugs<br />

- are designed to provide optimal<br />

embolization of peripheral veins and<br />

arteries through single device occlusion,<br />

full cross-sectional vessel coverage,<br />

controlled and precise deployment.<br />

AVP AVP II AVP III AVP IV


Amplatzer vascular plugs<br />

A single device frequently blocks a vessel<br />

that would have required many coils,<br />

which makes it a very efficient and costeffective<br />

alternative to coils or surgery.<br />

Plugs have the ability to recapture and<br />

reposition, if necessary.
