BACKGROUND: To examine the feasibility of using pulsatility index-adjusted (PI) flow equations to accurately characterize blood volume flow changes using Doppler technique in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) before and after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
METHODS: PTA was performed on 17 PAD patients (23 target vessels treated, 16 anterior tibial arteries, and 7 posterior tibial arteries). Arterial diameter, peak systolic velocity, PI, time-averaged mean velocity, and measured volume flow (MVF) of dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) and common plantar artery (CPA) were measured with duplex Doppler ultrasound before and after PTA. PI-adjusted volume flows (PIVF) were calculated as part of the MVF/PIVF relative percentage metric.
RESULTS: Significant changes (p < 0.001) of the MVF (mean: 33.0 mL/min, range: -20.9-102.2 mL/min) and MVF/PIVF relative percentages (mean: 51.8, range: 5.1-127.2%) in the DPA existed between before and after PTA, whereas no significant changes could be found in the CPA (mean:10.9 mL/min, p = 0.148 and mean: 21.3%, p = 0.146, respectively). Of the 7 treated posterior tibial arteries, the increments of the MVF/PIVF (mean: 60.4%, p = 0.033) was significant but not in the MVF (mean: 26.5 mL/min, p = 0.125). The ankle-brachial index also showed non-significant changes (p = 0.081). All PI-adjusted results matched clinical observations after blood flow restoration.
CONCLUSION: No conclusions can be drawn from the comparison of actual measured volume flow between before and after PTA. However, using the MVF/PIVF relative percentage allows for a more objective framework upon which to base clinical observations and provides clarity in situations where direct measurement provides a counter-intuitive or contradictory picture.
