Epidemiology
General prevalance 3-10% (ABI < 0.9)
>70 years old: 15-20%
Asymptomatic 75%
Symptomatic:
Intermittent claudication
Critical limb ishcemia

Clinical Course
Hirsch AT et al. J Am Coll Cardiol
![Page 4: The Cramping Leg Management of peripheral vascular disease Dr Patricia Yih Department of Surgery, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital Joint Hospital](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496fd6d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Asymptomatic PVD Vascular disease progression related to baseline ABI
Identical to symptomatic patients
Coexisting vascular disease (atherosclerotic)
Coronary artery disease
CVA
Risk: MI/CVA 5-7%/year, mortality 2%/year
Also related to baseline ABI
Management:
Intensive risk factor modifiation
Antithrombotic therapy

Intermittent Claudication Only about 25% deteriorate ever
Disease progression related to:
ABI (<0.50 >2x more likely need intervention/amputation)
Low ankle pressure (40-60mmHg 8.5% limb loss/year)
At 5 years:Stable (70-80%)
Worsening(10-20%)
Criticalischemia(5-10%)

Risk Factor Modification Stop smoking
Control of BP
Control of DM
Control of hyperlipidemia
Weight reduction
![Page 7: The Cramping Leg Management of peripheral vascular disease Dr Patricia Yih Department of Surgery, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital Joint Hospital](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cad5503460f9496fd6d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Exercise Rehabilitation Supervised
Program:
Treadmill or track walking to bring on claudication
Followed by rest until pain subsided
Then resume
30-60 minute sessions
3 times/week, for 3 months (TASC II guidelines, Recommendation 14)
Selective exercise of most ischemic muscles
Doubles claudication distance in 80% of patients

Drugs Antiplatelet agents
Aspirin
Clopidogrel
Cilostazol (PletaalTM)
Vasodilator, metabolic and antiplatelet activity
Increased walking distance 50-70m
Best evidence
Naftidrofuryl (PraxileneTM)
Improve muscle metabolism, reduce RBC/platelet aggregation
Increased walking distance by 26%
Pentoxifylline
Similar to placebo

Indications for Intervention Severe, lifestyle-limiting
claudication
Failed drug therapy and exercise
Prerequisite:
Inflow satisfactory
Distal runoff patent

SFA Disease
“Stupid Femoral Artery”
High failure rate after intervention

Factors affecting result of intervention Multiple lesions
Long segment stenosis
Complete occlusion
Below knee

Surgical Bypass vs Angioplasty
TASC classification
Angioplasty
Bypass
If high risk for surgery

ConclusionConclusion Clinical course/deterioration, systemic disease related to
baseline ABI
When to intervene?
Lifestyle limiting claudication, failure of conservative management
Radiological confirmation of adequate inflow and runoff required
Bypass or angioplasty?
Depends on disease location, extent
Angioplasty: to stent or not?
No difference
Depends on expertise available, patient condition
