摘要
Purpose: This study investigated the accuracy of color duplex sonography (CDS) compared with anterograde intraarterial digital subtraction angiography in the evaluation of the tibioperoneal arteries in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Methods: Fifty consecutive patients with femoropopliteal obstruction were examined immediately before planned percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. All CDS examinations were performed by one observer; the angiograms were interpreted independently by two readers (A1, A2). We compared agreement concerning judgement of the dominant crural artery (suitable for an eventual femorocrural bypass operation) and judgement of the severity of arterial lesions. Results: Concerning judgement of the dominant artery, the interobserver agreement between the two readers of the angiograms was better (kappa value, 0.76) than the agreement between CDS versus A(1) (0.61) and CDS versus A(2) (0.56). However, the differences were not statistically significant. The results were independent (no significant differences in the kappa values) of the following criteria: presence of diabetes; clinical stage of peripheral arterial occlusive disease; kind of femoropopliteal obstruction; and status of the popliteal artery. Concerning the evaluation of the severity of arterial lesions, the kappa values were significantly higher (p < 0.05) for A(1) versus A(2) (posterior tibial, 0.87; anterior tibial, 0.79; peroneal, 0.52) than for CDS versus A(1) (0.51; 0.46; 0.07) and CDS versus A(2) (0.35; 0.38; -0.05). The sensitivity of CDS (vs A(1) as reference) for detecting a hemodynamically relevant arterial lesion (stenosis or occlusion) was 100% in the posterior tibial artery, 78% in the anterior tibial artery, and 92% in the peroneal artery. Conclusion: Compared with intraarterial anterograde digital subtraction angiography, the value of CDS-with its currently used technology-for evaluation of the dominant lower leg artery suitable for an eventual femorocrural bypass operation in patient's who have femoropopliteal obstruction is limited. It cannot replace an accurate preoperative angiogram for the routine clinical practice, and its use should be restricted to special cases (such as patients with a history of severe allergic reaction to contrast media or of severely impaired kidney function). CDS is also limited in the accurate judgement of the morphologic features of the runoff arteries in their full length in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
