Iliac artery occlusions can produce Chronic limb-threatening ischemia and these patients need early revascularization procedures for their limb salvage which is usually established by Aorto-unifemoral bypass. But in patients with poor general conditions femoro-femoral crossover bypass is an alternate option. Ours is Comparative study of Femoro-femoral crossover bypass and Aorto-unifemoral bypass in patients with Iliac occlusion and Chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Total of 22 patients were included in which femorofemoral bypass performed in 10 patients and Aorto-unifemoral bypass in 12 patients. Indications for femorofemoral bypass were poor cardiac/respiratory functions and old age with poor performance. Stable patients were subjected to Aorto-unifemoral bypass. Patency rates and limb salvage rate were 100% with no perioperative mortality in both of these procedures. This shows femorofemoral bypass is an effective revascularization procedure in patients with Iliac occlusion and Chronic limb-threatening ischemia with associated poor general conditions.
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.
