Abstract [en]

Background: Treatment of chronically occluded infrainguinal venous bypass grafts in patients presenting with recurrent chronic limb threatening limb ischemia (CLTI) represent a clinical challenge. Recent case reports have suggested the use of endovascular recanalization techniques without preceding thrombolysis. This study assesses feasibility and mid-term outcomes of this technique. Results: A retrospective review of 5 consecutive patients (3 men, 2 women, mean age 70 +/- 5 years) presenting with chronic venous bypass graft occlusion and recurrence of CLTI during 1 year was performed. Patients were treated with relining of the bypass grafts. Patients were followed up at median 26 (6-36) months. All patients were treated successfully with restoration of flow in the grafts using recanalization and relining technique without thrombolysis. In 4 patients, a Viabahn stentgraft (SG) was used with the addition of interwoven nitinol stents (INS) in 3. In 1 patient, the graft was treated with INS without the addition of a stentgraft. No peripheral embolization was encountered during the procedures. One patient occluded the relined grafts after 6 months. The remaining 4 grafts were all patent at 24-month follow-up. A total of 6 reinterventions (in 3 patients) were performed to reach 80% secondary patency. Conclusions: This case series demonstrate feasibility and promising mid-term results, from relining of chronically occluded infra-inguinal venous bypass grafts using stent grafts, interwoven and bare-metal stents without preceding thrombolysis. The technique could be an alternative treatment option in the treatment of these challenging cases.
