摘要
Objectives: Cell therapy has had satisfactory safety and efficacy outcomes for no-option critical limb ischaemia (NO-CLI) patients. In the current study, we aimed to compare the image quality of ischaemic lower limb blood vessels shown on volumetric CT-based time maximum intensity projection CT perfusion (t-MIP CTP) versus single-phase CTA (sCTA). We also tried to quantify the blood flow of the ischaemic lower extremity based on the t-MIP technique, not only to precisely show the dynamic change in blood flow from before to after cell therapy but also to detect any relationship between this change and patient prognosis. Methods: A total of 31 patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO)-induced NO-CLI who had been referred from the department of vascular surgery to undergo autologous stem cell transplantation into a single limb from January 2020 to March 2021 were prospectively enrolled in this study. Preoperative sCTA or t-MIP CTP and postoperative 1-month t-MIP CTP were performed in all patients. Clinical outcomes, including the 1-month ankle-brachial index (ABI) and 3-month CLI status, were also analysed. Image quality, including objective scores (attenuation, signal-to-noise ratio [SNR] and contrast-to-noise ratio [CNR]), subjective scores and collateral scores, was compared between preoperative sCTA and t-MIP CTP. Vascular volume was calculated as the total volume (mL) of lower limb arteries within the scanning range. All images and calculations were performed by 2 separate radiologists. Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn to reveal the sensitivity and specificity of vascular volume and ABI in predicting prognosis. Results: Both sCTA and t-MIP CTP images exhibited good quality for diagnosis. t-MIP CTP images showed significantly higher attenuation, SNR and CNR in all arterial segments (popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery and peroneal artery). In subjective and collateral score evaluations, t-MIP CTP images were also significantly better than sCTA images (both p < .05). At 1 month after transplantation, both vascular volume and ABI showed significant improvement (both p < .01). At 3 months after transplantation, 38.71% of patients (12/31) achieved CLI relief (Rutherford class < 4). Through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the 1-month vascular volume increase ratio showed better ability to predict the 3-month prognosis (radiologist 1: AUC, 0.757; sensitivity, 0.750; specificity, 0.840; radiologist 2: AUC, 0.803; sensitivity, 0.500; specificity, 1.000) than the 1-month ABI increase ratio (AUC, 0.607; sensitivity, 0.230; specificity, 0.820) or 1-month ABI (AUC, 0.410; sensitivity, 0.080; specificity, 0.580). Conclusion: t-MIP CTP showed significantly higher-quality images of ischaemic limb vascularity than sCTA. t-MIP CTP can reveal the anatomical information of collaterals more accurately, which is of great importance for NO-CLI patients undergoing cell transplantation. The 1-month vascular volume increase ratio can predict the 3-month prognosis more precisely on this basis.
