Résumé

Percutaneous endovascular revascularisation interventions are increasingly used in treatment of lower extremity artery disease and may expose patients to substantial radiation. Dose-area product (DAP) was retrospectively analysed in 1063 consecutive interventions performed in adult patients with lower extremity artery disease in a single tertiary medical centre. Differences between procedure types, stratified according to anatomical region and arterial lesion complexity were evaluated. Median DAP for diagnostic interventions was 35.6 (15.0-52.4) Gy cm The most important factor influencing patients' radiation doses was the anatomical region. Pelvic interventions were associated with 6-11-times higher DAP values than femoropopliteal interventions with antegrade ipsilateral approach. Stenting and complexity of lesions increased DAP only in antegrade ipsilateral femoropopliteal interventions.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Percutaneous endovascular revascularisation interventions are increasingly used in treatment of lower extremity artery disease and may expose patients to substantial radiation.
PATIENTS AND METHODS METHODS
Dose-area product (DAP) was retrospectively analysed in 1063 consecutive interventions performed in adult patients with lower extremity artery disease in a single tertiary medical centre. Differences between procedure types, stratified according to anatomical region and arterial lesion complexity were evaluated.
RESULTS RESULTS
Median DAP for diagnostic interventions was 35.6 (15.0-52.4) Gy cm
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The most important factor influencing patients' radiation doses was the anatomical region. Pelvic interventions were associated with 6-11-times higher DAP values than femoropopliteal interventions with antegrade ipsilateral approach. Stenting and complexity of lesions increased DAP only in antegrade ipsilateral femoropopliteal interventions.
