==Pathophysiology==
==Pathophysiology==
*The pathogenesis of aortoilliac disease is characterized by atherosclerotic plaque buildup, Thrombosis or an embolus.
*The pathogenesis of aortoilliac disease is characterized by [[atherosclerotic]] plaque buildup, [[Thrombosis]] or an [[embolus]].
*The [gene name] gene/Mutation in [gene name] has been associated with the development of [disease name], involving the [molecular pathway] pathway.
**Atherosclerosis is the buildup of cholesterol plaques in the arteries. Damage to the endothelial layer of the vessel wall allows for inflammatory cells, mediators and fatty acids to enter the intimal layer of the artery. Overtime the plaques can enlarge and cause stenosis of the vessel lumen. Thrombosis occurs when a piece of the plaque dislodges and causes an occlusion.  
*On gross pathology, cholesterol plaques, fatty streaks, and areas of ulceration and hemorrhage are characteristic findings of atherosclerosis and thrombus  formation in aortoilliac disease.<ref>{{Cite journal

Overview

Aortoilliac disease also known as Aorotilliac occlusive disease or Leriche Syndrome is a type of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Peripheral Arterial Disease is caused by occlusion of an artery[1] due to atherosclerotic plaque buildup, thrombosis or embolism. PAD normally affects the distal femoral artery, but Aortoilliac disease is caused by occlusion of the infrarenal aorta and beyond. The Aorta gives off the renal branches at the L1/ L2 spine level and it branches into the Right and Left Common Illiac Arteries at the L4 spine level. Aortoilliac disease can include the Common Illiac arteries and it's branches.[2] Depending on it's underlying cause it can present acutely or chronically. Acute causes include thrombosis and embolism, while chronic causes include atherosclerotic plaque formation

Classification

===Morphological Stratification of Iliac Lesions-Trans-Atlantic Intersociety Consensus Classification === [3]

TASC Type A iliac lesions

    • Single stenosis less than 3 cm of the CIA or EIA (unilateral/bilateral)
  • TASC Type B iliac lesions
    • Single stenosis 3 to 10 cm in length, not extending into the CFA
    • Total of 2 stenosis less than 5 cm long in the CIA and/or EIA and not extending into the CFA
    • Unilateral CIA occlusion
  • TASC Type C iliac lesions
    • Bilateral 5 to 10 cm long stenosis of the CIA and/or EIA, note extending into the CFA
    • Unilateral EIA occlusion not extending into the CFA
    • Unilateral EIA stenosis extending into the CFA
    • Bilateral CIA occlusion
  • TASC Type D iliac lesions
    • Diffuse, multiple unilateral stenosis involving the CIA, EIA and CFA (usually more than 10 cm long)
    • Unilateral occlusion involving both the CIA and EIA
    • Bilateral EIA occlusions
    • Diffuse disease involving the aorta and both iliac arteries
    • Iliac stenosis in a patient with an abdominal aortic anuerysm or other lesion requiring aortic or iliac surgery

Diagnosis

  • MR angiography
    • Gadofosveset-enhanced MR angiography showed significant improvement (P < .001) compared with unenhanced MR angiography for diagnosis of clinically significant aortoiliac occlusive disease ( 50% stenosis) .
    • The improvement in diagnostic efficacy compared with unenhanced MR angiography was clearly demonstrated. There was an improvement in overall accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.
  • CT Angiography [4] [5]
    • CT angiographic examination is less invasive and less expensive than conventional angiography
    • Improves resolution with decreased contrast load and acquisition time without increasing radiation exposure

Indications for Revascularization

  • Relief of symptomatic lower extremity ischemia, including claudication, rest pain, ulceration or gangrene, or embolization causing blue toe syndrome
  • Restoration y/o preservation of inflow to the lower extremity in the setting of pre-existing or anticipated distal bypass
  • Procurement of access to more proximal vascular beds for anticipated invasive procedures. Occasionally revascularization is indicated to rescue flow-limiting dissection complicating access for other invasive procedures

Technical Issues

  • Endovascular Access
    • Ipsilateral femoral artery
    • Contralateral femoral artery
    • Brachial artery: In patients with flush occlusions at the aortic bifurcation
  • Multiple access sites may be required for successful treatment:
    • Bilateral femoral
    • Femoral/brachial

Treatment Options

Interventional Management of Iliac Lesions

PTA

  • Endovascular treatment of iliac stenoses
    • High technical success rates
    • Low morbidity.
  • Iliac PTA/stenting
    • High rates of patency
    • Improvement in functional outcome for the individual patient
  • Stent placement
    • Balloon expandable stent: Useful in Ostial Lesions
      • Greater radial force
      • Allow greater precision for placement
    • Self-expandable stent
      • Longer lesions in which the proximal vessel maybe several millimeters larger than the distal vessel
      • Used predominantly in common iliac artery orificial occlusions

Surgical

Complications

  • Intraoperative complications
  • Dissection
  • Extravasation
  • Arterial rupture
  • Postoperative complications
  • Pseudoaneurysm formation at the access site
  • Distal embolization
  • Hematoma

Prognosis

  • Ideal Iliac PTA Lesions
    • Stenotic lesion
    • Non-calcified
    • Discrete (< 3cm)
    • Patent run – off vessels (> 2)
    • Non- diabetic patients
  • Predictors of long-term failure
    • Clinical status: CLI vs claudicant
    • Smoking
    • Women?
    • Vessel diameter < 8mm
    • Outflow status
    • Lack of antiplatelet regimen
    • Number of stents
    • Occlusion vs. stenosis


Historical Perspective

  • Aortoilliac disease/Leriche's syndrome was first described by Dr. Robert Graham, a Scottish surgeon, in 1841.[6][7]
  • The symptoms of Aortoillliac disease described together as a syndrome was first discovered by Dr. Rene Leriche a French physician in 1940.[8][9]
  • In 1940, Dr. Leriche performed the first surgery to treat Aortoilliac disease/ Leriche syndrome.[10]

Classification

  • Aortoilliac disease may be classified according to Trans-Atlantic Intercontinental Consensus guidelines [11] into 4 subtypes/groups:
  • TASC Type A iliac lesions
    • Single stenosis less than 3 cm of the CIA or EIA (unilateral/bilateral)
  • TASC Type B iliac lesions
    • Single stenosis 3 to 10 cm in length, not extending into the CFA
    • Total of 2 stenosis less than 5 cm long in the CIA and/or EIA and not extending into the CFA
    • Unilateral CIA occlusion
  • TASC Type C iliac lesions
    • Bilateral 5 to 10 cm long stenosis of the CIA and/or EIA, note extending into the CFA
    • Unilateral EIA occlusion not extending into the CFA
    • Unilateral EIA stenosis extending into the CFA
    • Bilateral CIA occlusion
  • TASC Type D iliac lesions
    • Diffuse, multiple unilateral stenosis involving the CIA, EIA and CFA (usually more than 10 cm long)
    • Unilateral occlusion involving both the CIA and EIA
    • Bilateral EIA occlusions
    • Diffuse disease involving the aorta and both iliac arteries
    • Iliac stenosis in a patient with an abdominal aortic anuerysm or other lesion requiring aortic or iliac surgery

Pathophysiology

  • The pathogenesis of aortoilliac disease is characterized by atherosclerotic plaque buildup, Thrombosis or an embolus.
    • Atherosclerosis is the buildup of cholesterol plaques in the arteries. Damage to the endothelial layer of the vessel wall allows for inflammatory cells, mediators and fatty acids to enter the intimal layer of the artery. Overtime the plaques can enlarge and cause stenosis of the vessel lumen. Thrombosis occurs when a piece of the plaque dislodges and causes an occlusion.
  • On gross pathology, cholesterol plaques, fatty streaks, and areas of ulceration and hemorrhage are characteristic findings of atherosclerosis and thrombus formation in aortoilliac disease.[12]
  • On microscopic histopathological analysis, foam cells, necrotic core, fibrous cap and inflammatory infiltrate are characteristic findings of atherosclerosis and thrombus formation in aortoilliac disease.[13]

Clinical Features

Clinical features of aortoilliac disease include:

Differentiating Aortoilliac Disease from other Diseases

  • Aortoilliac disease must be differentiated from other diseases that cause lower limb claudication, lower limb weakness/atrophy, and loss of femoral pulses such as:

Epidemiology and Demographics

Age

  • Aortoilliac disease is more commonly observed among patients aged 30-60 years old.[27]
  • Aortoilliac disease is more commonly observed among middle aged and elderly patients.

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected with aortoilliac disease than Females.[28]

Race

  • There is no racial predilection for aortoilliac disease.

Risk Factors

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Criteria

  • The diagnosis of aortoilliac disease is made when 3 of the following diagnostic criteria are met:

Symptoms

  • Peripheral arterial disease may start out asymptomatic. Symptoms depend on the arteries affected.
  • Symptoms of aortoilliac disease may include the following:

Physical Examination

  • Patients with aortoilliac disease can appear normal or distressed in appearance.
  • Physical examination may be remarkable for:

Laboratory Findings

  • Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Peripheral artery disease including aortoilliac disease include abnormal lipid panel [46] and abnormal inflammatory markers.

Imaging Findings

  • CT angiography is the imaging modality of choice for aortoilliac disease.[51]
  • On CT angiography, aortoilliac disease is characterized by occlusion of the Common Illiac, External Illiac, or Common Femoral Arteries.[52] [53]
  • Doppler Ultrasound may demonstrate decreases blood flow in the Common Illiac, External Illiac, or Common Femoral Arteries. [54] [55]
  • Abdominal ultrasound may also be used to aid in diagnosis. [56]
