2D Perfusion DSA for the Quantification of Infrapopliteal Angioplasty

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Ischemia Limb
Registration Number
NCT04356092
Lead Sponsor
Attikon Hospital
Brief Summary

A custom-made, 2D-perfusion digital subtraction angiography (PDSA) algorithm has been designed and implemented towards foot perfusion quantification following endovascular treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI), in order to assist intra-procedural decision-making and enhance clinical outcomes.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single-center, study investigating the feasibility of 2D-PDSA using newly-developed, non-commercially available, color-coded software for the quantification of foot perfusion following infrapopliteal angioplasty for the treatment of CLI. In total, 7 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo infrapopliteal endovascular treatment of CLI were enrolled. Perfusion Blood Volume (PBV), Mean Transit Time (MTT), and Perfusion Blood Flow (PBF) maps were extracted by analyzing Time-Intensity Curves and signal intensity on the perfused vessel mask. Mean values calculated from user-specified ROIs on perfusion maps were employed to evaluate the patient's pre- and post- endovascular treatment condition.
