Surgical, Endovascular, and Multimodal Approaches to the Management of Atherosclerotic Common Femoral Artery Disease
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 156-160 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-57262Common femoral artery disease is at the heart of nearly all treatment algorithms and decisions for patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. Surgical endarterectomy has been the mainstay of common femoral treatment with a wealth of data supporting its safety, efficacy, and durability. Advances in endovascular technology and techniques for the management of iliac and superficial femoral artery disease has resulted in a paradigm shift in management. The common femoral artery has been aptly named a “no stent zone” due to anatomic and disease-sp...

Aortoiliac: Covered, Uncovered, CERAB as It Relates to Peripheral Arterial Disease
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 151-155 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1768955Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects over 200 million worldwide and is the leading cause of major limb amputation, with individuals suffering from PAD being at three times greater risk of dying compared with matched controls. TASC-II guidelines provide a consensus on the management of PAD based on the collaboration between international vascular specialties. These guidelines previously outlined open surgery as the gold standard for treatment of aortoiliac disease and PAD as it has demonstrated consistent long-term results. However, this approach is al...

Percutaneous Intentional Extraluminal Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusions: A Review of Reentry Devices
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 144-150 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-57260Percutaneous intentional extraluminal recanalization (PIER) is an endovascular subintimal crossing technique used to treat chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the peripheral arteries. Intraluminal revascularization remains the standard over PIER when technically feasible; however, when intraluminal approaches fail, PIER may be preferred prior to pursuit of surgical bypass grafting. The major cause of failure of PIER is inability to reenter the true lumen after crossing the CTO. Therefore, several reentry devices and endovascular techniques have been developed...

Treatment of Difficult, Calcified Lesions: Plaque Modification Strategies
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 136-143 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1768678Endovascular management of peripheral arterial disease is continually evolving. Most changes focus on addressing the challenges that hinder optimal patient outcomes; one of the most significant is how to best treat calcified lesions. Hardened plaque results in a variety of technical issues including impaired device delivery, decreased luminal revascularization, poor stent expansion, heightened risk of in-stent stenosis or thrombosis, and increased procedural time and cost. For this reason, plaque modification devices have been developed to mitigate this is...

Medical Management of Peripheral Artery Disease
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 119-128 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-57257Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common type of atherosclerotic disease of the lower extremities associated with reduced quality of life and ambulatory capacity. Major adverse cardiovascular events and limb amputations are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. Optimal medical therapy is therefore critical in these patients to prevent adverse events. Risk factor modifications, including blood pressure control and smoking cessation, in addition to antithrombotic agents, peripheral vasodilators, and supervised exercise therapy are...

Advanced Techniques for Accessing the Portal Vein during Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Creation
Semin intervent Radiol 2023; 40: 079-086 DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1767688Transjugular portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is a widely accepted method for reducing portal pressures in conditions including symptomatic varices, refractory ascites, hepatic hydrothorax, portomesenteric thrombosis, and Budd-Chiari syndrome. The traditional method for performing TIPS involves “blind” access into a portal vein branch from a hepatic vein, typically right portal vein to right hepatic vein, using preoperative imaging and intraoperative wedged portography for guidance. However, standard access technique may not always be feasible due ...
