Abstract

Objectives Residual dissection is a concern in endovascular treatment with a DCB, and there is limited knowledge of hemodynamics at a dissection lesion. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the mean pressure gradient (MPG) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) at a residual dissection after DCB angioplasty for the superficial femoral artery (SFA). Methods A total of 59 cases with residual SFA dissection treated with DCB angioplasty at a single center were analyzed retrospectively. The dissection was classified into 6 types (A-F). The primary endpoints were MPG and FFR at a residual dissection lesion after DCB angioplasty, using evaluation with a pressure wire. Results The median lesion length was 70 (40-130) mm with 24% popliteal involvement, and 11 cases (18%) had chronic total occlusion. A completion angiogram revealed dissection of types A (n = 33, 56%), B (n = 18, 31%), C (n = 7, 12%), and D (n = 1, 2%). The median MPGs in type A, B, and C cases were 0 (0-2), 0 (0-4), and 3 (0-6) mmHg, with a significant lower in type C cases than in type A cases (A vs C, P = .021). The median FFRs in type A, B, and C cases of 1.0 (.98-1.00), 1.0 (.96-1.00), and .98 (.95-1.00) did not differ significantly among dissection types (A vs B, P = .86; A vs C, P = .055; B vs C, P = .15). Conclusions This is the first report of hemodynamics at a SFA dissection. The results suggest that low-grade dissection (types A or B) does not affect MPG and FFR at a SFA lesion. This indicates that a bailout stent may be unnecessary for patients with dissection of types A or B. A further investigation is needed to determine whether a scaffold is required for a SFA lesion with type C dissection.
