Below, you will find a list of sessions focused on peripheral artery disease (PAD) that we are eagerly looking forward to at #SIR25NASH. The sessions are organized in chronological order for your convenience.

Anatomy of the Superficial, Deep, and Perforator veins of the foot: Essential Insights for Interventional Radiologists in Deep Venous Arterialization

  • Date: Monday, March 31, 2025 
  • Time: 4:55 PM – 5:00 PM CT 
  • Location: 205 BC
    • A thorough comprehension of the foot venous complex is essential for evaluating the deep venous arterialization circuit during procedures. By elucidating the relationships between superficial and deep veins as well as their perforators, healthcare providers can improve their approaches to facilitating optimal blood flow towards wounds, both during procedures and in instances of non-maturation post-procedure.

Management of Critical Limb Ischemia with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

  • Date: Monday, March 31, 2025 
  • Time: 5:00 PM – 5:05 PM CT 
  • Location: 205 BC
    • This presentation aims to examine the surgical management of critical limb ischemia through the utilization of endovascular therapy and adjunct hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Additionally, the presenters will delve into the various measurements associated with the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
    • Critical limb ischemia represents the most advanced stage of peripheral arterial occlusive disease, often necessitating revascularization to enhance extremity perfusion and reduce the likelihood of amputation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has emerged as a valuable tool in promoting wound healing in ischemic tissue, potentially serving as a crucial component in the treatment of patients with postoperative infections stemming from gangrene or necrotic tissue. A range of metrics have been employed to assess the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, including transcutaneous oxygenation and peripheral circulation. Through this educational exhibit, the presenters aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunct treatment modality for managing critical limb ischemia.

Deep Vein Arterialization: Indications, Techniques, and Clinical Outcomes

  • Date: Monday, March 31, 2025
  • Time: 5:05 PM – 5:10 PM CT 
  • Location: 205 BC
    • Mortality rates following major amputation are approximately 60% at 5 years, which is comparable to the rates of all cancers combined over the same time period. Despite advancements in surgical and endovascular techniques, up to 20% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are classified as "no-option" patients, meaning they are not suitable candidates for open or endovascular revascularization due to the lack of appropriate target vessels. Deep vein arterialization (DVA) is an endovascular procedure that serves as a last resort for patients with "no-option" CLTI. DVA involves creating an arteriovenous fistula proximal to diseased infrapopliteal arteries using a covered stent. Once matured, the venous system delivers oxygenated arterial blood to the foot through the pedal venous supply.
    • In this educational presentation, the speakers will (1) present cases of "no-option" CLTI, (2) outline the criteria for selecting suitable patients for the procedure, (3) demonstrate the transcatheter DVA technique, including associated risks and potential complications, (4) discuss appropriate post-procedure care, and (5) showcase the procedural success and long-term clinical outcomes of DVA.

How to Give an Option to No-Option Critical Limb Ischemia

  • Date: Monday, March 31, 2025 
  • Time: 5:10 PM – 5:15 PM CT 
  • Location: 205 BC
    • This educational exhibit offers detailed procedural instructions, accompanied by visual aids, to showcase the process of creating an AV fistula in the distal extremities for pDVA. The exhibit covers various techniques such as plantar vein access, femoral access, gunsight and flossing, and venovalvotomy. Additionally, it delves into the selection of balloons, high-pressure angioplasty, and venoplasty.
    • Furthermore, the exhibit emphasizes the importance of ensuring reverse flow in the deep plantar venous arch. It provides information on the placement of stents, intraprocedural imaging, and post-procedural follow-up to ensure optimal outcomes.
