Abstract
Conservative therapy is favored over revascularization for patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication (IC) owing to the better long-term results. The adjunctive use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) significantly improves endovascular therapy. However, data on IVUS and IC is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to determine the safety and efficacy of IVUS in patients with IC and to evaluate discrepancies compared to angiography and potential consequences for treatment.This was a single-center prospective cohort study. Twenty patients with IC and femoropopliteal disease eligible for endovascular therapy were enrolled. Procedural data and discrepancies between IVUS and angiography were recorded.In total, 30 lesions were treated. IVUS-based measurements yielded substantially higher reference vessel diameters (RVD) and lesion lengths compared to DSA alone (RVD: 5.37 ± 0.71 mm vs. 4.74 ± 0.63 mm, p<.001, lesion length: 62.4 ± 41.4 mm vs. 42.18 ± 30.2 mm, p<.001). In 24 of 30 lesions (80%), a significant discrepancy in RVD (defined as difference >0.5 mm) and lesion length (defined as >20 mm) was determined between IVUS and standard DSA. Subsequently, IVUS assessment led to upsizing in 14 of 30 lesions (47%) and downsizing in 3 of 30 lesions (10%). On average, IVUS led to the selection of considerably larger balloons (5.25 ± 0.62 vs. 4.74 ± 0.63, p<.004) and device length (78.97 ± 44.19 mm vs. 42.18 ± 30.2, p<.001). Serious adverse events did not occur. Technical success was achieved in all cases.IVUS is safe and provides advantages regarding the evaluation of IC by depicting RVD and lesion length more reliably than standard DSA.

期刊介绍:
Die RöFo veröffentlicht Originalarbeiten, Übersichtsartikel und Fallberichte aus dem Bereich der Radiologie und den weiteren bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin. Es dürfen nur Arbeiten eingereicht werden, die noch nicht veröffentlicht sind und die auch nicht gleichzeitig einer anderen Zeitschrift zur Veröffentlichung angeboten wurden. Alle eingereichten Beiträge unterliegen einer sorgfältigen fachlichen Begutachtung.
Gegründet 1896 – nur knapp 1 Jahr nach der Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlen durch C.W. Röntgen – blickt die RöFo auf über 100 Jahre Erfahrung als wichtigstes Publikationsmedium in der deutschsprachigen Radiologie zurück. Sie ist damit die älteste radiologische Fachzeitschrift und schafft es erfolgreich, lange Kontinuität mit dem Anspruch an wissenschaftliches Publizieren auf internationalem Niveau zu verbinden. Durch ihren zentralen Platz im Verlagsprogramm stellte die RöFo die Basis für das heute umfassende und erfolgreiche Radiologie-Medienangebot im Georg Thieme Verlag.
Besonders eng verbunden ist die RöFo mit der Geschichte der Röntgengesellschaften in Deutschland und Österreich. Sie ist offizielles Organ von DRG und ÖRG und die Mitglieder der Fachgesellschaften erhalten die Zeitschrift im Rahmen ihrer Mitgliedschaft. Mit ihrem wissenschaftlichen Kernteil und dem eigenen Mitteilungsteil der Fachgesellschaften bietet die RöFo Monat für Monat ein Forum für den Austausch von Inhalten und Botschaften der radiologischen Community im deutschsprachigen Raum.
