ABSTRACT

Objective To study the surgical treatment of multilevel arterial occlusion of lower extremities. Methods Single or jumping arterial bypass using grafting and percuteneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)and stenting combined with infrainguinal revascularization were used for the multilevel arterial occlusion in 25 lower extremities. Results 25 cases showed satisfactory results in 6 months to 3 years follow-up. Postoperatively,the ischemia symptoms of limbs were improved or disappeared,4 toes were amputared because of preoperative dry gangrene,the wounds received eurement in a 2 to 4 months,2 graftings became occluded in 6 months postoperation. There were no procedural or postoperative morbidity or mortality.The cumulative patency rate of grafting was 92%(23/25),The rate of curement was 100%.Conclusion According to the individual principle,it is an effective therapy method to choose single or jumping arterial bypass and PTA and stenting combined with infrainguinal revascularization for high risk patients with multilevel arterial occlusion.
