Chapter 105 - Lower extremity arterial disease - medical management and decisions Flashcards
PAD prevalence overall and age distributed
4.3% 40-49 years: 0.9% 50-59 years: 2.5% 60-69 years: 4.7% >69 years: 14.5%
5 years course of intermittent claudication
amputation 1-7% deterioration 25%
CLTI cardiovascular mortality in 1, 5 and 10 years
1 year: 12% 5 years: 42% 10 years: 65%
Chronic subclinical LE ischemia definition
ABI < 0.9 without IC or CLTI usually due to limitation of other comorbidity
Ambulation rate of decline in I.C.
8.4 m/yr
Structured exercise survival benefit in 5 years
80.5% vs 56.7%
ACC/AHA recommendation on exercise
30-45 min x 3-4/week for 12 weeks
Percentage of patients with I.C. where exercise therapy can be completed
1/3
Two FDA approved drugs for PAD
1) Pentoxifylline (Trental) 2) Cilostazol (Pletal)
Cilostazol MOA
Phosphodiesterase III inhibitor –> increase cAMP 1) SMC relaxation 2) inhibit platelet aggregation 3) decrease SMC proliferation 4) decrease TG, increase HDL 5) increase VEGF
Effect of cilostazol
1) increase walking distance by 50% 2) increase quality of life
Side effects of cilastazol
1) headache 2) diarrhea and other GI symptoms 3) CHF exacerbation 4) interact with cytochrome p450 system
Contraindication of cilastazol
CHF
Dose of Cilostazol
100 mg po BID start slow titrate up
Cilostazol vs pentoxifylline
Cilostazol better at increasing walking distance
TASC definition
Trans Atlantic Inter Society Consensus
TASC purpose
1) gauge extent of angiographic disease 2) aid in decision making
What % of CLTI post-op bypass does not show clinical improvement despite graft patency
10%
Specific names of QOL PAD surveys
1) SF36 2) Nottingham Health Profile
Endpoint in I.C. treatment
Quality of life
Endpoint for CLTI based on Taylor et al in Rutherford class 5/6 bypass success
1) Patent until wound heal 2) Limb salvage 1 year 3) ambulatory 1 year 4) survival 6 months Total probability 44%
TASC and TASC II years
TASC 2000 TASC II 2007
Run off score
0 < 20% stenosis 1: 20-50% stenosis 2: 50-99% stenosis 2.5: < half occluded 3: > half occluded
Calcium score in PAD anatomy
0: none 1: < 25% 2: 25-50% 3:> 50% circumference
