The combined results of femoro-distal bypasses using prosthetic material with vein cuffs from two separate vascular units is presented. METHOD: Over the last five years, 89 infrainguinal bypasses using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with a distal interposition vein cuff to a tibial artery have been performed in two centres. All operations were for critical limb ischaemia. The mean age was 72 years (47-90), there were 46 males and 43 females, 27 of whom were diabetic. Twenty-eight patients had a history of angina and/or previous myocardial infarct. The median follow-up was 12 months (0-68 months). RESULTS: During the follow-up period there were 28 deaths, 35 major limb amputations and 44 graft failures. The graft patency rates at 12 and 24 months were 50 and 32%, and limb salvage rates were 53 and 44%, respectively. The patient survival rates were 66 and 61%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The authors believe that the likely improvement in pain free quality of life the patient may enjoy with a successful bypass shifts the balance in some individuals towards bypass surgery using PTFE with a vein cuff to a tibial artery when such an option is possible. |
