Abstract:
Objective: Endovascular treatment (EVT) for lower-limb peripheral artery disease patients reduces blood pressure (BP) and improves prognosis. This study retrospectively examined hemodynamics during EVT to clarify the mechanism. Materials and Methods: Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was measured using a noninvasive continuous cardiac output monitoring system during EVT. Furthermore, ankle brachial index was measured before and after EVT. Results: The study included 88 lesions of 56 patients (hypertension in 98%). SVR significantly decreased from 2409.1±746.8 dynes·s·cm-5 to 2033.7±635.0 dynes·s·cm-5 (p<0.0001). The difference in SVR before and after EVT was significantly greater in the Fontaine IV group than in the Fontaine IIa group (554.7±406.6 dynes·s·cm-5 vs. 312.9±245.7 dynes·s·cm-5, p=0.0151). The change in SVR was correlated with a change in mean BP in the upper limb (p=0.0026). When the change in pressure gradient between the upper limb and the diseased lower limb was large, mean BP of the upper limb significantly decreased (p=0.0022). Conclusion: EVT can reduce SVR and BP by canceling the pressure gradient between central BP and diseased lower-limb BP.
