percutaneous DVA

by Paul Moxey

Very comprehensive talk

Was the PI for PROMISE 1 in the UK

A total of 5 patients

Described the Limflow kit

Explained how the new basket retrieval kit has evolved from the prior technique of inflating a balloon in the vein, rupturing the balloon with the outback-type needle coming out from the arterial access, and thus trapping the needle and wire within the deflated balloon and thus effectively snaring the arterial access into the vein.

Talked about the great importance of realising that it takes 30 days, give or take, for the revascularisation benefit in terms of TcO2 and perfusion to start becoming functionally evident on the pDAV treated foot.

Recaps the failure of surgical DVA to have been partly due to the inability to treat the venous pinch points in the ankle and foot

Along those lines, showed one case where embolising away the SSV outflow appeared to help increase foot perfusion.
