Hybrid Repair Combining Common Femoral Endarterectomy and Iliac Stenting for Iliofemoral Arterial Occlusive Disease
Introduction: Iliac and common femoral artery occlusive disease (IFOD) can often manifest in a
debilitating condition for patients and be challenging to manage. Endarterectomy with patch angioplasty is
the standard for treatment of isolated common femoral artery (CFA) occlusive disease. However, the
management of disease that extends proximally into the iliac arteries is a more challenging problem. In the
endovascular era, endoluminal treatment has been shown in certain situations to be a comparable option
for iliac occlusive disease. However, it is not a suitable stand-alone therapy in the presence of significant
CFA disease. In the presence of severe IFOD, hybrid repair (HR) combining endovascular iliac stenting
and common femoral endarterectomy, may represent an alternative to open aortoiliofemoral surgical
reconstruction. The main advantage of hybrid procedures is the ability to treat more complex anatomy by
less invasive procedures in patients considered at high medical risk. Aim: The purpose of this study was to
review our contemporary experience in treating severe chronic iliofemoral occlusive disease (IFOD) with
hybrid repair (HR). Particular attention was given to periprocedural safety, technical outcomes, and
procedural durability. Patients and methods: Between July 2010, and July 2014, 32 Common Femoral
endarterectomies (CFEs) were performed on 32 symptomatic patients with iliofemoral occlusive disease
(IFOD). These cases were performed as a hybrid procedure where concurrent endovascular treatment for
their iliac disease was performed at the same session with common femoral artery endarterectomy.
Results: Data was obtained for 32 patients (32 limbs) who underwent hybrid procedures during the study
period. Technical success was achieved in 100% (32 patients). Clinical success, according to the American
Heart Association (AHA) classification at 1 month showed, 12.5% (4 patients) had grade 3 improvement,
56.3% (18 patients) had grade 2 improvement, and 25% (8 patients) had grade 1 improvement, while 6.3%
(2 patients) worsened. During the follow-up period which was 12 months, there were 6 major adverse
cardiovascular events (MACE). All our surviving patients except for five patients remained free of
symptoms, without need for any other interventions at the time of the last follow-up. Our primary patency
rate of the target treatment segment (common femoral and iliac axis) was 93.75% at 12 months. Our
secondary patency rate of the target treatment segment was 100% at 12 months, while the freedom from
reintervention rate to the treated limb was 84.15% at 12 months. Conclusion: Hybrid approach combining
common femoral artery endarterectomy and iliac angioplasty for iliofemoral occlusive disease (IFOD)
seems an attractive option for those patients, who are unfit for extensive bypass surgery, especially those
with extensive multilevel disease where hybrid procedures can be performed safely, and with good
durability.
