A comparative study of revascularization treatment for patients with iliac artery occlusion vs stenosis / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the outcome and early patency rate of revascularization treatment for patients with iliac artery occlusion or stenosis.Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 105 cases of iliac artery occlusion or stenosis from January 2009 to April 2014.49 were with iliac artery occlusion and 56 with iliac artery stenosis.Results The demographics,and comorbidities were not statistically different between the 2 groups.The occlusion group had more critical limb ischemia and the ankle-brachial index was lower than the stenosis group.The occlusion group underwent more hybrid surgery and used more covered stents in the operation.The peri-operative complication was higher in the occlusion group,but the difference was not statistically different.The ABI improved significantly for all patients after surgery.The early patency rate was similar in the 2 groups.Conclusions Revascularization treatment for patients with iliac artery occlusion and stenosis was safe and effective,with similar early patency rate and peri-operative complications between the two groups.
