RESUMO
Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass (LABF) for diffuse aortoiliac occlusive diseases.Methods Clinical data of 18 cases who underwent LABF were retrospectively analyzed.The intraoperative procedures and postoperative outcome were evaluated.Results LABF was performed successfully in 17 of 18 patients.The mean operation time was (280 ±57) minutes,with a mean aortic cross-clamp time of (117 ±32) minutes.Estimated blood loss was(524 ±45) ml.Mean ICU stay was ( 1.0 ± 1.2) days.The mean postoperative hospital stay was ( 10 ±5) days.Mean time to resume diet was (3 ± 3 ) days.Postoperative myocardial infarction developed in 1 case,lung infection in 2 cases.There was no perioperative mortality.Graft thrombosis developed in 1 case and embolectomy surgery was successfully performed.All patients were followed up from 3 to 27 months,with mean follow-up of (18 ± 8) months,grafts were all patent.Conclusions Laparoscopic aortic bypass is feasible and miniinvasive in patients with diffuse aortoiliac occlusive disease.Short-term outcomes are comparable to those with open conventional aortic bypass.
