EndoNaut two-dimensional fusion imaging with a mobile C-arm for endovascular treatment of occlusive peripheral arterial disease
Journal of Vascular Surgery(2022)
摘要
Background: Endovascular treatment has become the first-line strategy for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Given the number of procedures required, any technology associated with a reduction in radiation exposure and contrast volume is highly relevant. In the present study, we evaluated whether two-dimensional (2D) fusion imaging could reduce the radiation exposure and contrast volume during endovascular treatment of occlusive PAD. Methods: Our consecutive, retrospective, single-center, nonrandomized comparative trial included patients with PAD at the femoral, popliteal, and/or tibial level, at any clinical stage, if they were candidates for endovascular revascularization. Patients were treated with or without the EndoNaut 2D fusion imaging system (Therenva, Rennes, France) in a nonhybrid room with the same Cios Alpha mobile C-arm (Siemens, Munich, Germany). The indirect dose-area product and contrast medium volume were recorded. Results: Between March 2018 and April 2020, 255 patients underwent endovascular femoropopliteal revascularization with (n = 124) or without (n = 131) 2D fusion imaging. The volume of injected contrast medium (34.7 +/- 13.8 mL vs 51.3 +/- 26.7 mL; P <.001) and dose-area product (8.9 +/- 9.9 Gy/cm(2) vs 13.5 +/- 14.0 Gy/cm(2); P=.003) were significantly lower for the 2D fusion imaging group than for the control group. A subgroup analysis of complex (TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease C/D) lesions showed similar results. Stratification of the fusion imaging group into three subgroups, according to the procedure dates, showed no effect of a potential learning curve on the operative parameters. Conclusions: The results from the present study showed a significant reduction in the contrast volume and radiation dose for endovascular treatment of PAD when applying 2D fusion imaging technology. Overall, a reduction of >30% was observed for both operative parameters, without excessive training requirements, highlighting the potential benefits of using 2D fusion imaging when performing endovascular revascularization for PAD.
