Resumen
Objetivo

Evaluar el efecto de la administración de ecocontraste en la mejora de la calidad del seguimiento eco-Doppler de stents en el sector femoropoplíteo. Pacientes y métodos. En 20 pacientes portadores de stents femoropoplíteos, dos observadores independientes realizaron 40 eco-Doppler color, uno simple y otro con ecocontraste. Se recogió velocidad picosistólica en el interior del stent, antes y después del stent; visualización en color completa; la necesidad de cambio de sonda y tiempo empleado. Cada estudio se comunicó como normal (Vratio<1,5), estenosis moderada (1,5<Vr<3), severa (Vr>3) u oclusión, y clasificado como de calidad buena, regular o mala. Comparamos diagnósticos con contraste/sin contraste mediante correlación κ.

Resultados

El 60% de los estudios sin contraste consiguen visualización en color completa del stent, frente al 90% con contraste (p=0,05). No encontramos diferencias significativas en el tiempo de realización (10,85 min con contraste frente a 12,85 min sin contraste) ni en la necesidad de cambio de sonda (15% sin contraste frente a 10% con contraste). Entre los estudios sin contraste se comunicaron 15 normales, dos estenosis moderadas, dos severas y una oclusión. Con contraste se comunicó igual número de oclusiones y estenosis severas, pero con ocho estudios normales y nueve estenosis moderadas. La correlación global entre los dos métodos es moderada (κ=0,45); se encuentra, al analizar cada diagnóstico, correlación completa (κ=1) para oclusiones y estenosis severas y correlación baja en estenosis moderadas (κ=0,24) y normales (κ=0,36). La calidad subjetiva fue mejor para los estudios con contraste, con correlación insignificante (κ=0,07) respecto a las exploraciones sin contraste.

Conclusión

El ecocontraste mejora la visualización del stent, puede contribuir a mejorar la detección precoz de estenosis moderadas en el seguimiento de stents femoropoplíteos y mejora la percepción subjetiva de calidad del estudio.

Summary
Aims

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which administrating echo-contrast improves the quality of Doppler ultrasound stent monitoring in the femoropopliteal segment.

Patients and methods

Two independent observers performed 40 colour Doppler ultrasound recordings, one simple and the other using echo-contrast, in a group of 20 patients who had been fitted with femoral-popliteal stents. Data collected included the peak systolic velocity inside the stent, before and after the stent; full colour visualisation; the need to change the probe and how long it took to do so. Each study was reported as being normal (Vratio <1.5), moderate stenosis (1.5< Vr <3), acute (Vr <3) or occlusion, and was classified as good, regular or bad quality. Diagnoses with and without contrast were compared using the. correlation.

Results

Full colour visualisation of the stent was achieved in 60% of the studies without contrast and in 90% in those using contrast (p =0.05). No significant differences were found in performance time (10.85min with contrast vs. 12.85min without contrast) or in the need to change the probe (15% without contrast vs. 10% with constrast). Among the studies without contrast, 15 were reported as being normal, two involved moderate stenoses, two were acute and there was one case of occlusion. With the use of contrast, the same numbers of occlusions and acute stenoses were reported, but eight studies were found to be normal and there were nine cases of moderate stenoses. The overall correlation between the two methods is moderate (κ =0.45); on analysing each diagnosis we found full correlation (κ =1) for occlusions and acute stenoses and a low correlation in the case of moderate stenoses (κ =0.24) and normals (κ =0.36). Subjective quality was better for the studies with contrast, with an insignificant correlation (κ =0.07) as compared to the explorations carried out without contrast.

Conclusions

Use of echo-contrast enhances visualisation of the stent, can help to facilitate early detection of moderate stenoses in femoral-popliteal stent follow-ups, and improves the subjective perception of quality of the study.
