Vein bypass surgery to the foot in patients with diabetes and critical ischaemia

Abstract: The feasibility of vein bypass surgery to the arteries of the foot was studied in a diabetic population with critical ischaemia; whether or not such reconstruction leads to an independent lifestyle was assessed 1 year later. Thirty-three reconstructions were performed on 32 limbs in 31 patients. The mortality and reoperation rates within 1 month were both 6 per cent. Primary and secondary patency, limb salvage and survival rates at 1 year were 76, 89, 89 and 82 per cent respectively. Good results in the form o… Show more

“…The patients with arterial ischaemia had much poorer outcomes, significantly higher amputation rates and lower healing rates than those with non‐ischaemic disease. Limb salvage rates of 82–84% have been described elsewhere after vascular reconstruction 11,12 . The salvage rate in this series after revascularization was only 50%.…”

“…Es posible que el puente de arterialización haya promovido la inducción de neocolaterales (arteriogénesis: Figuras 5 y 6) y de neoarteriolas (arteriogénesis) 16,17 responsables de la mejora de las lesiones isquémicas de los pies, incluso después de la oclusión del injerto puente. En los puentes clásicos, la conservación del miembro está estrechamente ligada a la duración del puente [18][19][20][21] .…”
