BACKGROUND: Autologous fat grafting (AFG) has emerged as a promising treatment option for Raynaud phenomenon. However, existing studies are limited by short follow-up, and there is little evidence regarding predictive factors for successful outcomes.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review and standardized phone interviews were performed for all patients (n = 17, 65% response rate) treated with AFG to the hands or feet at our institution for primary or secondary Raynaud from 2010 to 2021. Each occurrence of AFG was defined as a separate surgery (n = 23), with an average follow-up of 3.7 years.
RESULTS: At follow-up, patients reported a 31% reduction in cold attack frequency, a 45% reduction in the intensity of individual attacks, a 29% reduction in the duration of attacks, and a 40% improvement in overall Raynaud Condition Score (P < 0.01). Although initial AFG to an extremity significantly improved symptoms, subsequent attempts were not shown to statistically improve outcomes. Digital ulcers were present in 65% of cases, and AFG resulted in ulcer healing in 87% of those cases. Median duration of maximum symptom relief was 1 year postoperatively, with 74% of patients reporting diminishing symptom relief by 4 years postoperatively. Those with a BMI ≥25, with primary Raynaud phenomenon or without preoperative ulcers experienced significantly longer symptom relief (P < 0.05). Average patient satisfaction was 7.7 of 10, and 91% would recommend the procedure to others.
CONCLUSIONS: Autologous fat grafting is an effective, albeit sometimes temporary, treatment for Raynaud and digital ulcers. Certain patients may be more likely to experience lasting symptom relief beyond 1 year.
