Conduit choice for above-knee femoropopliteal bypass grafting in patients with limb-threatening ischemia.
Many surgeons consider PTFE to be the conduit of choice for above-knee femoropopliteal bypass grafting, since PTFE is relatively easy to implant and spares autogenous saphenous vein (ASV) for subsequent peripheral or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This practice has recently been challenged, as some studies have suggested that ASV may exhibit superior patency in certain patient subgroup...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of femoropopliteal bypass grafts for lower extremity arterial insufficiency.
BACKGROUND In femoropopliteal bypass surgery, the use of saphenous vein grafts is preferable, but synthetic grafts are widely used above the knee. The objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the long-term patency of femoropopliteal bypass grafts classified as above-knee polytetrafluoroethylene, above-knee saphenous vein, or below-knee saphenous vein. METHODS Studies published from 1986 ...
متن کاملFlow measurement before and after papaverine injection in above-knee prosthetic femoropopliteal bypass.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of intraoperative blood flow measurements on early and long-term patency of above-knee prosthetic femoropopliteal bypass. METHODS Flow was measured with a transit time flowmeter before (basal flow) and after an intragraft injection of papaverine (papaverine flow) in 87 operations (86 patients) between January 1990 and December 2001. Sixty-one grafts were of ...
متن کاملFemoro-popliteal bypass above knee with saphenous vein vs synthetic graft.
There is still debate whether sintethic graft (polytetrafluoroethylene or Dacron) is equivalent to vein as bypass graft material for the above-knee femoropopliteal bypass. Therefore, we performed prospective randomized trial to compare vein with polytetrafluoroethylene/dacron for femoropopliteal bypasses with the distal anastomosis above the knee. Between January 2000 and June 2003, 121 femorop...
متن کاملFive-year outcomes following a randomized trial of femorofemoral and femoropopliteal bypass grafting with heparin-bonded or standard polytetrafluoroethylene grafts.
BACKGROUND Cohort studies suggest superior long-term patency of luminal heparin-bonded polytetrafluoroethylene (Hb-PTFE) bypass grafts compared with standard PTFE grafts. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of Hb-PTFE grafts with those of standard PTFE grafts 5 years after a randomized trial. METHODS Patients with intermittent claudication or critical limb ischaemia requiring fe...
