Resumo

Contexto: Pacientes com isquemia crítica (IC) dos membros inferiores (MMII) precisam de arteriografia para o planejamento da cirurgia de revascularização. A ultrassonografia Doppler (UD) não é invasiva e, através da aferição do índice de resistência (IR), pode fornecer informações sobre as artérias distais.

Objetivos: Correlacionar a Classificação Angiográfica de Rutherford com o IR na avaliação do leito arterial distal dos MMII.

Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado em hospital público terciário, com 120 pacientes portadores de IC dos MMII, entre setembro de 2019 a abril de 2022. Foi comparado o IR das artérias da perna passíveis de serem receptoras de revascularização com a imagem obtida através da arteriografia dessas artérias em acordo com a Classificação Angiográfica de leito distal de Rutherford.

Resultados: Foram avaliados 120 MMII em 120 pacientes com idade média de 68,6 anos. A amostra foi composta de 50,0% de pacientes do sexo masculino. Na amostra, 90,0% pacientes encontravam-se na classe cinco de Rutherford. Os valores do IR encontrados para as artérias de perna apresentaram uma correlação positiva, estatisticamente significativa, quando comparados com a Classificação de Rutherford (tibial anterior, p< 0,01; tibial posterior, p = 0,012 e fibular, p = 0,034 e artéria dorsal do pé, p < 0,001).

Conclusões: Neste estudo, os IRs das artérias da perna obtidos através da ultrassonografia Doppler apresentaram uma correlação positiva quando comparados à classificação de Rutherford. Em pacientes com isquemia crítica, esse índice pode ser útil na avaliação do leito arterial distal dos membros inferiores.

Abstract

Background: Patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) of the lower limbs (LL) undergo arteriography for revascularization surgery planning. Doppler ultrasound (DU) is non-invasive and can provide information about the distal arteries through measurement of the resistance index (RI).

Objectives: To correlate the Rutherford Angiographic Classification with the RI for assessment of the distal arterial bed of the LL.

Methods: A cross-sectional study, conducted at a public tertiary hospital with 120 patients with LL CLTI, from September 2019 to April 2022. The RI of arteries that were candidates for revascularization was compared with the images of the same arteries obtained using arteriography, using the Rutherford Angiographic Classification of the distal bed.

Results: A total of 120 LL were assessed in 120 patients with a mean age of 68.6 years. The sample was 50.0% male and 90.0% of the patients in the sample were classified as Rutherford category five. The RI values found for the arteries of the leg exhibited a statistically significant positive correlation with the Rutherford Classification (anterior tibial, p< 0.01; posterior tibial, p = 0.012 fibular, p = 0.034; and dorsalis pedis, p < 0.001).

Conclusions: In this study, RIs for the arteries of the leg measured using Doppler ultrasound exhibited a positive correlation with the Rutherford Classification. This index could be useful for assessment of the distal arterial bed of the lower limbs of patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia.
