Rotarex Mechanical Thrombectomy Combined With Drug-coated Balloon for In-stent Restenosis of Femoropopliteal Artery
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy combined with drug-coated balloon(DCB)dilatation for the treatment of in-stent restenosis(ISR)in femoropopliteal atherosclerotic occlusive disease.Methods A total of 53 patients with in-stent restenosis after stent implantation(9 covered stents and 44 bare stents)from March 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.All the cases were treated with Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy combined with DCB dilatation.Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy were used after operation.Results All the 53 patients had successful recanalization of the lower limb arteries.Imaging after Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy combined with DCB dilatation showed 3 cases of residual thrombus in the stent treated with indwelling thrombolytic catheters for thrombolysis,with follow-up angiography showing blood flow recovery,and 5 cases of embolism of the below-knee arteries intraoperatively,including 3 cases at the opening of the tibiofibular trunk artery,which were opened with 6F peripheral thrombus aspiration catheter until unobstructed blood flow,and 2 cases of proximal occlusion of the posterior tibial artery,which were opened with balloon dilatation.Three cases of residual stenosis>30%were treated with remedial stents placement.There were no postoperative complications related to the puncture point,cardiovascular or cerebrovascular accidents,or deaths.The ankle brachial index(ABI)was0.33±0.06 preoperatively and0.84±0.07 postoperatively at the time of discharge(t =-39.443,P<0.001).All the 53 cases completed 3-month follow-ups,52 cases completed 6-month follow-ups,and 49 cases completed 12-month follow-ups.The phaseⅠpatency rates were 100%(53/53)at 3 months,92%(48/52)at 6 months,and 84%(41/49)at12 months,postoperatively.Recurrence of lower limb ischemic symptoms happened in 2 cases,which were given DCB dilatation at 9 and 10 months postoperatively,respectively.The 12-month freedom from clinically-driven target vessel reintervention was 95.9%(47/49).There were 4 deaths(1 case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage,2 cases of COVID-19,and 1 case of unknown cause)and 3 cases of amputation beyond the ankle joint.Conclusion The Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy combined with DCB is safe and effective in treating ISR of the femoropopliteal artery with satisfactory patency and reintervention rates.
