Anticoagulation therapy to manage SFJT was effective in achieving resolution, preventing recurrence and preventing PE within our follow-up period. There is a high incidence of DVT associated with SFJT that merits careful evaluation of the deep venous system during the course of management.
Adjunctive AVF/VI significantly improves infrapopliteal PTFE graft patency and limb salvage rates. The combination of a decreased compliance mismatch at the distal anastomosis and the abolishment of a large pressure gradient at the distal anastomosis while maintaining higher graft flow rates may have contributed to the improved results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
