3-Year Outcomes of the OLIVE Registry, a Prospective Multicenter Study of Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia : A Prospective, Multi-Center, Three-Year Follow-Up Study on Endovascular Treatment for Infra-Inguinal Vessel in Patients With Critical Limb Isc

ObjectivesThis study sought to investigate the 3-year follow-up results of OLIVE registry patients.BackgroundAlthough favorable 12-month clinical outcomes after endovascular therapy (EVT) in OLIVE registry patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) from infrainguinal disease have been reported, long-term results after EVT remain unknown.MethodsThis was a prospective multicenter registry study that consecutively enrolled patients who received infrainguinal EVT for CLI. The primary outcome was 3-year amputation-free survival (AFS), whereas secondary outcome measures were 3-year freedom from major adverse limb events (MALE), wound-free survival, and wound recurrence rate. Prognostic predictors for each outcome were also elucidated by Cox proportional hazard regression analysis or the log-rank test.ResultsThe completion rate of 3-year follow-up was 95%. Three-year AFS, freedom from MALE, and wound-free survival rates were 55.2%, 84.0%, and 49.6%, respectively. Wound recurrence out to 3 years was 43.9%. After multivariable analysis, age (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.43, p = 0.001), body mass index ≤18.5 (HR: 2.17, p = 0.001), dialysis (HR: 2.91, p < 0.001), and Rutherford 6 (HR: 1.64, p = 0.047) were identified as predictors of 3-year major amputation or death. Statin use (HR: 0.28, p = 0.02), Rutherford 6 (HR: 2.40, p = 0.02), straight-line flow to the foot (HR: 0.27, p = 0.001), and heart failure (HR: 1.96, p = 0.04) were identified as 3-year MALE predictors. Finally, CLI due to isolated below-the-knee lesion was a wound recurrence predictor (HR: 4.28, p ≤ 0.001). Three-year survival, freedom from major amputation, and reintervention rates were 63.0%, 87.9%, and 43.2%.ConclusionsIn CLI patients with infrainguinal lesions, 3-year clinical results of EVT were reasonable despite high reintervention and moderate ulcer recurrence rate.
