Arterial Diseases
• Stenosis due to trauma, atherosclerosis, emboli.
In brain → TIA, stroke
In limb → claudication and rest pain
In abdomen → pain, bloody stool
In kidneys → haematuria
• Aneurysm
• Arteritis
• Vessel abnormalities
Arterial stenosis & occlusion
• Caused by atherosclerosis, thromboembolism, result of trauma
• Produces symptoms and signs related to organ supplied by the artery
• Severity of symptoms is related to site of vessels occluded
• Stenosis or occlusion occur suddenly (acute) in previous normal artery
• Gradually (chronic) with progressive narrowing of artery over time
• In chronic, collateral circulation may develop.
Risk factors
• Smoking
• Diabetes Mellitus
• Hypertension
• Dyslipidaemia
• Obesity (BMI > 30)
• Previous History
Features of chronic arterial stenosis or occlusion in the leg
• Intermittent claudication
• Claudication distance
• Rest pain
• Ulceration and gangrene
• Colour, temperature, sensation and movement
Intermittent Claudication
• Result of anaerobic muscle metabolism
• Cramp-like pain in affected muscle
• Brought on by walking
• Not present on taking the first step
• Relieved by rest both in standing and sitting positions (usually within
5 minutes)
Claudication distance
• The distance that a person is able to walk without stopping varies
only slightly from day to day.
• It is decreased by increasing the work demand & oxygen requirement
of the muscle affected
Rest pain
• Increase disease progression>> decrease claudication distance
• Perfusion to leg may be severely compromised
• Anaerobic respiration occurs even at rest
• Exacerbated by lying down or elevation of the foot
• Due to gravitational effects on perfusion pressure in the foot
• Pain is worse at night
• Lessened by hanging the foot out of bed or by sleeping in the chair
• Pressure of the clothes may make pain worse
Ulceration & Gangrene
• Ulceration occurs with severe arterial insufficiency
• May present as painful erosion between toes
• Non healing ulcer on dorsum of the feet, shins and around the
malleoli
• Superadded infection of gangrene make wet gangrene
Gangrene
• Refers to death of macroscopic portions of tissue which turn black because
of the breakdown of haemoglobin and the formation of iron sulphide
• Usually affects the most distal part of a limb because of arterial
obstruction(from thrombosis ,embolus or arteritis)
• There are two types of gangrene;
• Dry gangrene: occurs when the tissues are desiccated by gradual slowing of
the bloodstream (atheromatous occlusion of arteries)
• Wet gangrene: occurs when superadded infection and putrefaction are
present
• Crepitus may be palpated by gas forming organisms in Diabetic foot
problems
• Should be considered surgical emergency with urgent tissue debridement
or amputation required
Colour, temperature, sensation and movement
• In acute ischaemic, foot is cold, white, paralysed and insensate
• In chronic, ischaemic limbs tend to equilibrate with the surrounding
temperature
• Chronic ischaemia does not produce paralysis & sensation is intact
• Muscle group affected by claudication is classically one anatomical
level below the level of arterial disease
Relationship of clinical findings to site of disease
Aortoiliac obstruction
Claudication in both buttocks, thighs, and claves
Femoral and distal pulses absent in both limbs.
Bruit over the aortoiliac region
Impotence (Leriche)
Iliac obstruction
Unilateral claudication in the thigh and calf and sometimes the buttock
Bruit over the iliac region
Unilateral absence of femoral and distal pulses
Femoropopliteal obstruction
Unilateral claudication in the calf
Femoral pulse palpable with absent unilateral distal pulses
Distal obstruction
Femoral and popliteal pulses palpable
Ankle pulses absent
Claudication in calf and foot
Other sides of atheromatous occlusive
diseases
• Carotid stenosis – TIA
• Subclavian artery stenosis – claudication in arm
• Mesenteric artery occlusive disease
• Renal artery stenosis
Physical Examination
Inspection
• Patient position – lying comfortable, hanging down the foot
• Colour changes
• Red – vasodilation of microcirculation due to ischaemia
• White – advanced ischaemia
• Blue – excess deoxygenated blood
• Black - gnagrene
• Trophic changes
•Loss of hair
•Shining of skin
•Lost of digits
•Ulceration
•gangrene
• Buerger’s angle
• Lift the leg until it becomes white
• The angle between the horizontal and leg is Buerger’s angle
• Less than 20 degree indicates severe ischaemia
• Drop the leg over the side of bed leads to purple or red colour due
to reactive hyperaemia
• Buerger’s angle
• Lift the leg until it becomes white
• The angle between the horizontal and leg is Buerger’s angle
• Less than 20 degree indicates severe ischaemia
• Drop the leg over the side of bed leads to purple or red colour due
to reactive hyperaemia
Palpation
•Temperature
•Capillary refill time
•Pulses – femoral artery, popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery,
posterior tibial artery, dorsalis pedis artery
•ABPI
Investigation
Doppler ultrasound blood flow detection
• Hand-held Doppler ultrasound probe (assessment of occlusive arterial disease)
• Ankle-brachial pressure index (APBI) : ratio of systolic pressure at the ankle to
that in the arm
• Resting ABPI = 1
• Below 0.9 → arterial obstruction (claudication)
• Below 0.5 → rest pain, below 0.3 → imminent necrosis
Duplex scanning
• Major non-invasive technique uses B-mode ultrasound to provide an image of vessels.
Angiography
• Invasive and only appropriate if intervention is being
contemplated.
• Injection of radio-opaque dye into the arterial tree by a
percutaneous catheter method (Seldinger technique)
• Hazards: bleeding, haematoma, false aneurysm formation,
thrombosis, arterial dissection, distal embolization, renal
dysfunction and allergic reaction.
• Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is now standard
technique.
General Investigation
• FBC, Blood Glucose, Lipid profile, serum urea & electrolytes (to exclude anaemia,
diabetes, renal disease and lipid abnormalities)
• ECG (left ventricular hypertrophy, coronary ischaemia, rhythm abnormalities)
Treatment of arterial stenosis or occlusive
• Non – surgical management
•Claudication a structured exercise programme – at least 2 hours per
week for 3 months
•Smoking cessation
•Control DM, hypertension, dyslipidaemia
•Control body weight
•Buerger’s exercise
• Drugs
•Medication may be required for diseases associated with arterial
disorders (hypertension, DM, dyslipidaemia)
•Antiplatelets (clopidogrel, asparin)
•Avoid beta blockers
• Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting
Operation for arterial stenosis or occlusion
Sites of disease and types of operation
• Aortoiliac occlusion – aortofemoral bypass (Dacron graft)
• If only iliac system is occluded – iliofemoral of femorofemoral
crossover graft
• Superficial femoral artery disease – femoropopliteal bypass
• Occlusion beyond popliteal artery into tibial vessels – femorodistal
bypass
Acute arterial occlusion
• Sudden occlusion of an artery is usually caused by an embolus
Embolic occlusion
• An embolus is an object that has become lodged in a vessel causing
obstruction having been carried in the blood stream from another
site
• Sources – Lt atrial in AF, Lt ventricular mural thrombus following MI,
vegetation on heart valve in infective endocarditis, thrombi in
aneurysm or atherosclerotic plaques
• Emboli may lodge in any organ and cause ischaemic symptoms
Other forms of embolism
• Infective emboli of bacteria or an infected clot
• Parasitic emboli ( ova of Taenia echinococcus )
• Air embolism
• Therapeutic embolism ( use to arrest of haemorrhage )
Clinical features of acute limb ischaemia
• An emergency that requires immediate treatment
• Ischaemia beyond 6 hrs is usually irreversible & result in limb loss
• Presented with pain, pallor, paralysis, loss of pulsation, cold and
paraesthesia
Treatment
• Immediate administration of 5000U of heparin IV
• Pain control
• Embolectomy and thrombolysis
