Long-term results after open and semiclosed thrombendarterectomy for aortoiliac. Occlusive disease

Long-term outcome of aortofemoral bypass for aortoiliac occlusive disease.

INTRODUCTION Revascularisation of aortoiliac occlusive disease has been evolving in the past 2 decades. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the long-term outcomes of aortofemoral bypass for aortoiliac occlusive disease at a tertiary vascular disease centre in Hong Kong. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 94 patients (176 limbs) who survived aortofemoral bypass was perf...

Mid-term results of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for aortoiliac occlusive disease.

The aim of this study was to evaluate middle-term clinical results of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) to treat aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). Between 2002 and 2007, 28 consecutive patients received robot-assisted laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass grafting (n = 24) or aortoiliac endarterectomy (n = 4). Patients were followed prospectively. RALS could be completed successfully i...

Leriche syndrome (Aortoiliac occlusive disease)

An 87yearold man presented with recent intermittent claudication in the thighs and calves. Moreover, he complained of bilateral calf and foot pain at midnight. He was a former smoker and had a significant medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and depression. On physical examination, we found that his dorsal artery pulse was reduced, and he had an anklebrachial index score of 0.4 in b...

Ten year outcomes after bypass surgery in aortoiliac occlusive disease

PURPOSE Most outcome studies of bypass surgery are limited to five years of follow-up. However, as human life expectancy has increased, analyses of more long-term outcomes are needed. The aim of this study is to evaluate 10-year outcomes of anatomical bypasses in aortoiliac occlusive disease. METHODS From 1996 to 2009, 92 patients (82 males and 10 females) underwent aortic anatomical bypasses...
