Free-tissue transfer for limb salvage in Purpura fulminans.
A series of 13 patients is described to demonstrate the experience of the authors with free-tissue transfer for limb salvage in patients with purpura fulminans. A total of seven free-flap procedures were performed, with a loss of flap in one patient. The flaps were used for lower-extremity salvage in six patients and for upper-extremity salvage in one. Purpura fulminans is a devastating illness...
متن کاملLimb Salvage after Infrapopliteal Angioplasty for Critical Limb Ischemia in Surgically High-Risk Patients in Iran
INTRODUCTION: Surgical bypass for the treatment of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease is a suboptimal option in high-risk surgical patients or patients with limited life expectancy. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is an alternative in such patients; however, the results of this approach have not been wellstudied in our region. This study evaluated the results of infrapoplit...
متن کاملAnesthesia for leg amputation in high risk patients: Case reports
Background: High risk cases of leg amputation were one of major concerns in anesthesiologists. Cases: Sixteen cases with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS) 3 or 4 for leg amputation were reported. Fifteen patients were medicated with more than two anticoagulants and 11 patients had bleeding tendency. Thirteen patients received below knee amputation (BKA) and thre...
متن کاملInferior Limb Salvage by Combined Free-tissue Transfer and the Crane Principle Revisited
Aggressive treatment of ischemia of the lower extremities has decreased the number of amputations in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients; combined vascular reconstruction and microvascular free-flap transfer has been used to improve distal perfusion and cover large tissue defects caused by the critical limb ischemia during the past 30 years. We present our experience with a 71-year-old diabe...
متن کاملLower Extremity Function following Partial Calcanectomy in High-Risk Limb Salvage Patients
Partial calcanectomy (PC) is an established limb salvage procedure for treatment of deep heel ulceration with concomitant calcaneal osteomyelitis. The purpose of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between the amount of calcaneus removed during PC and the resulting lower extremity function and limb salvage outcomes. Consecutive PC patients were retrospectively divided into two c...
