Surgical and endovascular intervention for infrainguinal vein graft stenosis.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stenosis-free patency of open repair (vein-patch angioplasty, interposition, jump grafting) and percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) of 144 vein graft stenoses that were detected during duplex scan surveillance after infrainguinal vein bypass grafting. METHODS:Patients who underwent revision of an infrainguinal vein bypass graft were analyzed for type of vein conduit, vascular laboratory findings leading to revision, repair techniques, assisted graft patency rate, procedure mortality rate, and restenosis of the repair site. RESULTS:The time of postoperative revision ranged from 1 day to 133 months (mean, 13 months). One hundred eighteen primary and 26 recurrent stenoses (peak systolic velocity, >300 cm/s) in 52 tibial and 35 popliteal vein bypass grafts were identified by means of duplex scanning. The repairs consisted of 77 open procedures (vein-patch angioplasty, 28; vein interposition, 33; jump graft, 9; primary repair, 3) and 67 PTAs. No patient died as a result of intervention. Cumulative assisted graft patency rate (life-table analysis) was 91% at 1 year and 80% at 3 years. At 2 years, cumulative assisted graft patency rate was comparable for saphenous vein grafts (reversed, 94%; in situ, 88%; nonreversed, 63%) and alternative vein grafts (89%). Stenosis-free patency rate at 2 years was identical (P =.55) for surgical intervention (63%) and endovascular intervention (63%) but varied with type of surgical revision (P =.04) and time of intervention (<4 months, 45%; >4 months, 71%; P =.006). The use of duplex scan-monitored PTA to treat focal stenoses (<2 cm) and late-appearing stenoses (>3 months) was associated with a stenosis-free patency rate that was 89% at 1 year. After intervention, the alternative vein bypass grafts necessitated twice the reinterventions per month of graft survival (P =.01). Bypass graft to the popliteal versus infrageniculate arteries, site of graft stenosis (vein conduit, anastomotic region), and repair of a primary versus a recurrent stenosis did not influence the outcome after intervention. CONCLUSION:The revision of duplex scan-detected vein graft stenosis with surgical or endovascular techniques was associated with an excellent patency rate, including when intervention on alternative vein conduits or treatment of restenosis was necessary. When PTA was selected on the basis of clinical and duplex scan selection criteria, the endovascular treatment of focal vein graft stenosis was effective, durable, and comparable with the surgical revision of more extensive lesions.
