Overview
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the local inflammatory and resolution response of patients undergoing peripheral vascular intervention like an angioplasty of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) or popliteal artery, or stenting of the iliac artery or SFA, through the use of Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). PET/MRI will be performed prior to intervention, one day and one week after intervention.
Detailed Description
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging allows for non-invasive visualization of anatomical structures while Positron emission tomography (PET) scans allow for the observation of molecular and cellular activities. Using a PET/MRI in patients with vascular injury post intervention with help evaluate the vascular inflammatory and resolution response in vivo. Acute vascular injury through endovascular intervention results in recruitment of inflammatory cells such as macrophages to the vessel wall. Macrophages are very metabolically active and consume glucose at a high rate. In PET/MRI, subjects are injected with 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), a radioactively labeled glucose molecule which is consumed by macrophages. When 18F-FDG is consumed, it is retained within macrophages more avidly than other atherosclerotic lesion elements. Thus, FDG-PET provides a unique and noninvasive approach to quantitatively measure macrophage activity at the intervention site. This study will provide key pilot data for developing an imaging surrogate endpoint for pro-resolving mediator treatment intervention trials going forward.

Arms & Interventions
PET/MR using FDG-18 radiotracer
Using FDG-18 radiotracer, subject undergoes PET/MR scan which detects the uptake of the tracer.
Intervention: 18F-FDG
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes found in the quantitative measure of FDG-PET uptake at intervention site prior to and after peripheral vascular injury.
Time Frame: 1 time each week for 3 weeks
Patient is given 18F-FDG radio tracer. The tracer is quantitatively measured through FDG-PET imaging modality for uptake at the intervention site.
Secondary Outcomes
- Changes in the correlating the inflammatory and resolution response prior to and after peripheral vascular injury.(1 time each week for 3 weeks)
