SEQUENCE ARTERIAL RECONSTRUCTION FOR LOWER EXTREMITY ARTERIOSCLEROTIC OCCLUSION / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

This study is to evaluate the effect of sequence arterial reconstruction on lower extremity arteriosclerotic occlusion. 36 patients underwent bypass operation. Among them,1 case died of acute renal failure, and 1 case died of acute myocardial infarction. The arterial reconstructive patency rate was 100% after operation, and was 89 2% and 70 2% 2 and 5 years after operation respectively. It is suggsted sequence arterial reconstruction is safe and effective for lower extremity arteriosclerotic occlusion. The key to the successful operation lies in the patent inflow and outflow of the arterial reconstruction. Biocomposite graft in combination with common ostium technique would be helpful.
