Abstrakt: Background: This report contributes to VASCUNET data on treating peripheral artery disease (PAD) in Serbia, addressing sex differences, revascularization types, procedure characteristics, and morbidity and mortality.
Methods: SerbVasc, part of the VASCUNET collaboration, includes vascular procedures from 27 Serbian hospitals. Data from 1681 PAD patients were analyzed, focusing on sex disparities, diabetes prevalence, previous procedures, infection and tissue loss, and morbidity and mortality rates.
Results: Males formed the majority, comprising 1169 (69.5%) of the patients. Men were significantly more often treated open surgically compared to women (77.6% vs 68.0%; p=0.000). Diabetes stood at 40.2% prevalence. Smoking history was noted in 61.9% of patients, predominantly males. Complication rates stood at 7.5%, with diabetic patients more prone to reinterventions and graft restenosis. The in-hospital mortality rate was 1.6%, with significant predictors of mortality including urgent procedures and recent myocardial infarction. The severity of the infection was correlated with diabetes (r=0.250, p=0.000) and previous amputations (r=0.186, p=0.000). Patients undergoing revascularization followed by minor amputations had a significantly lower incidence of major amputation (0.1% vs 2.9%, p=0.000).
Conclusions: SerbVasc data provides a comprehensive overview of PAD management, highlighting the significant impact of diabetes and smoking on disease progression and outcomes.
Clinical Impact: This study highlights critical aspects of PAD management in developing countries, emphasizing sex differences, risk factors, and outcomes. Males predominated and are more likely to undergo open surgery. Diabetes and smoking significantly influenc disease progression, with diabetic patients experiencing higher rates of graft restenosis and reinterventions. Urgent procedures and recent myocardial infarctions are key predictors of in-hospital mortality. Combining revascularization with minor amputations reduced major amputation rates. These findings provide valuable data for tailoring treatment strategies, optimizing resource allocation, and improving outcomes for PAD patients, with implications extending beyond Serbia to similar healthcare systems.
