Kurzfassung:
The present study was carried out to provide information about outcome of the Jetstream atherectomy device for treatment of infrainguinal arteries. From February 2006 to February 2007, 172 patients with Rutherford class 1 to 5 lower limb ischemia were enrolled at 9 study sites. The endpoints were evaluation of quality of life according to the walking impairment questionnaire (WIQ) besides technical parameters. In the total study cohort, the WIQ scale maintained improved up to 12-month follow-up. Furthermore, target lesion revascularization rate was 26% (42/162), ankle-brachial index (ABI) increased from 0.59 ± 0.21 at baseline to 0.82 ± 0.27 ( P 〈 0.05), and mean Rutherford class dropped from 3.0 ± 0.9 at baseline to 1.5 ± 1.3 at 1 year ( P 〈 .05). The results of this prospective, multicenter, clinical study demonstrate that the Jetstream atherectomy device is a potential treatment alternative for the endovascular management to improve clinical outcome in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
