Critical Limb Ischemia
• Critical Limb Ischemia: chronic ischemic rest pain, ulcers or gangrene attributable to objectively proven arterial occlusive disease. The term CLI implies chronicity and is to be distinguished from acute limb ischemia
Ankle pressure < 50 mm Hg
Toe pressure < 30 mm Hg
TcpO2 < 30 mm Hg
Norgren et al. TASC II, Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 33, 2007
Relevance of the problem CLI in Europe
• Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI)
– 2 million patients in Europe
– 150,000 amputations/year
– Mean age > 69 years
– 63% - 91% diabetic patients
– Mortality > 60 % @ 3 years
Coppi, G.; EVC 2004
CLI: a Major Epidemic
a) 100.000 limb amputation/year in US
b) 1 limb lost every 30 sec in w/w
c) Less than 1/2 (49%) of the patients that eventually received a primary amputation had any diagnostic evaluation prior to their amputation

Clinical Variables Affecting CLI Outcomes
• Lack of proper assessment / reporting of wound healing from the literature, however...:
1. Not all wounds are even
2. Not all wounds are ischemic
3. Wound assessment (depth, ischemic vs. non-ischemic, infected vs. non- infected....) and treatment is a key contributor factor for limb salvage

Increased mortality and amputation is associated with ischemic foot ulcers
Moulik PKet al: Amputation and mortality in diabetic foot ulcers stratified by etiology Diabetes care 26;491-494, 2003
Revascularization Strategies Affecting CLI Outcomes
1. The most important factor affecting Limb Salvage is the number of patent arteries post-PTA [1;2]
1. 1 vessel better than 0
2. 2-3 vessels better than 1
3. Tibials better than peroneal
2. Direct revascularization (distal bypass) of the angiosome specific to the anatomy of the wound leads to a higher rate of healing and limb salvage [3]
3. Trade-off between driven by 1) procedural time and cost, and 2) technical access / success in treating the angiosome specific vessel

Revascularization Strategies Affecting CLI Outcomes
Wound Related Artery: Detection and Treatment
Foot Angiosomes
Posterior Tibial Angiosome Posterior Tibial Artery (PTA) supplies the plantar aspect of the toes, the web spaces between the toes, the sole of the foot, and the inside of the heel. Three main branches of the PTA supply distinct portions of the sole: the calcaneal branch to the heel, the medial plantar artery to the instep, and the lateral plantar artery to the lateral midfoot and the forefoot
Anterior Tibial Angiosome Anterior Tibial Artery (ATA) becomes the dorsalis pedis artery that supplies the dorsum of the foot
Peroneal Angiosome
Peroneal Artery (PA) supplies the lateral border of the ankle and the outside of the heel. Two branches of the PA supply the anterolateral part of the ankle and the hind foot: the anterior perforating branch to the anterolateral part of the upper ankle and the calcaneal branch to the plantar aspect of the heel

BTK Vessel Patency: Clinical Relevance
• NO 1:1 correlation between patency and limb salvage
• NO 1:1 correlation between patency and wound healing
Kudo T et al. JVS 2005;41:423-435 Pomposelli, et al. J Vasc Surg, 37; 2003
BTK Vessel Patency: Clinical Relevance
• Podiatrists, Vasc.Surgeons and the philosophy of cross-referral
Rogers LC, Armstrong DL: Podiatry Care, Chapter 113, Rutherford's Vascular Surgery, 7th Edition, Cronenwett JL, Johnston KW, editors, Elsevier Inc, 2010
Philosophy of crossreferral: the sigmoid curve represents the
probability of healing based on toe pressures. When a patient is
referred to a multidisciplinary team, the vascular team treats
wounds that are profoundly ischemic, with the goal of improving
flow and pushing the wound up the curve. Conversely, when flow
is adequate, the podiatry team manages wound healing,
offloading, reconstruction, and prevention. Patients falling in the
middle of the curve are frequently managed simultaneously by
combined efforts.
Clinical Variables Affecting CLI Outcomes
• Rutheford Class at baseline determines outcome
CLI Stage
Rocha Sing Xcell Trial – oral presentation LINC 2011
BTK Vessel Patency: Clinical Relevance
• 1) Baseline RC, 2) wound type and stage, 3) revascularization Strategy, 4) proper wound care are all key contributing factors to limb salvage
• Multidisciplinary close surveillance with secondary intervention is mandatory
• Vessel patency remains necessary but not sufficient for wound healing and limb salvage
• Vessel patency is necessary at least to the extent of time required for ischemic wounds to heal
Role of DES in BTK-CLI • DES have shown to significantly decrease restenosis vs PTA and BMS in short /
focal lesions BTK
• DEB are available in short length to address short lesions without stents

• DEB usage for treating real world long BTK lesions and occlusions: – Remarkably low (27.4%) shown in the primary endpoint of 3-
month Angiographic Restenosis Rate – Very low restenosis burden (10% full segment restenosis) and
reintervention rate at 12 m (17.3%) – While lesion specific outcomes appear notably better vs
historical PTA cohorts, no meaningful differences were detectable in the hard clinical endpoints of amputation free survival and wound healing
– Properly designed head-to-head DEB-PTA trials with a parallel careful control of the full span of variables concurring to clinical outcome (ie. wound care) would be warrented

Conclusions
• CLI is a complex multifactorial disease requiring multidisciplinary approach
• Vessel patency remains necessary but not sufficient for wound healing and limb salvage
• DEB is the only device able to treat long lesions BTK while “leaving nothing behind”
• DEB showed optimal results in SFA lesions of primary and secondary patency
• Early DEB data show reduction of angiographic restenosis rates and TLR
• Further study results are awaited to better understand the role of DEB in BTK/CLI
