Autologous Alternative Vein Grafts for Infrainguinal Bypass in the Absence of Single-Segment Great Saphenous Vein: A Single-Center Study Ann. Vasc. Surg. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 Ernest Biroš, Robert Staffa, Miroslav Krejčí, Tomáš Novotný, Monika Skotáková, Robert Bobák
Alternative autologous veins can be used as a conduit when adequate great saphenous vein is unavailable. We analyzed the results of our infrainguinal bypasses after adopting upper extremity veins in our practice. This is a single-center observational study involving all patients whose infrainguinal bypass involved the use of upper extremity veins between April 2019, when we began using arm veins, and

Predictors of Crossing Failure in Femoropopliteal Lesions: The Importance of Length of the Lesion and Calcification Ann. Vasc. Surg. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-22 Denise Michelle Danielle Özdemir-van Brunschot, David Holzhey, Spiridon Botsios
Endovascular therapy is nowadays the first choice for most patients with peripheral artery disease. The most important cause of technical failure is failure to cross the lesion with a wire. In this retrospective study, we explore possible risk factors of crossing failure. We included all consecutive patients in whom the lesion could not be crossed in the period of the January 1, 2017–January 1, 2022

Proximal Arterial Inflow Revascularization Improves Pedal Arch Quality and Its Impact on Ischemic Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing Ann. Vasc. Surg. (IF 1.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-22 Limi Lee, Stephen E. Thwaites, Mitra Rahmatzadeh, Erwin Yii, Kevin Yoong, Ming Yii
Arterial perfusion is a key factor in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) healing. Although it is associated with pedal arch patency, not all patients are amenable to pedal artery angioplasty. This study aims to determine the impact of angiographic improvement of the pedal arch quality after proximal arterial inflow revascularization (PAIR) and its association with wound healing. One hundred and fifty diabetic

Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is a hybrid technique with excellent initial outcomes. The technical success and safety of TCAR is heavily dependent on an anatomically suitable common carotid artery (CCA). Many patients do not meet anatomic criteria and therefore are not eligible for this therapy. We sought to extend the eligibility of TCAR to patients with unfavorable CCA anatomy via

Staged surgery with open guillotine amputation (OGA) prior to a definitive major lower extremity amputation (LEA) has been shown to be effective for sepsis control and improving wound healing. Studies have evaluated postoperative complications including infection, return to the operating room for re-amputation, and amputation failure following OGA. However, the role of timing to close OGA for predictive

Minor lower extremity amputations have become an important part of the limb salvage approach but are not as benign as previously thought. This study investigates the difference in outcome between toe/ray versus midfoot amputations and the risk factors for major amputation conversion associated with each procedure. We performed retrospective chart review of foot amputation patients at a single tertiary
