Overview
Introduction:
Pedal bypass is a therapeutic option for limb salvage in critical limb ischemia.
Method:
Retrospective analysis of 20 patients who underwent either simple (14 patients) or branched (6 patients) pedal bypass in a single center and had at least one postoperative follow-up. In patients with branched pedal bypass, the main trunk was connected to the pedal artery of better quality and the side branch to an artery on the opposite side of the foot. The main trunk was constructed as a reverse saphenous bypass in all patients with branched bypass. From patients with simple bypass, nine had reverse saphenous graft, three had an allograft, one patient had in situ saphenous graft, and one PTFE prosthesis.
Results:
The difference in the operation time was not significant. One patient with simple bypass required reoperation for wound bleeding and there was one case of perioperative mortality in the same group. The difference between the groups in the primary or secondary patency rates, limb salvage and overall survival was not significant.
Conclusions:
We did not find any significant difference in patency rates, limb salvage, or perioperative complications between patients with simple and branched pedal bypass in our cohort. We believe that the anticipated benefits of constructing an additional branch are masked by the disadvantageous presence of an additional anastomosis. Adoption of a branched pedal bypass may therefore require further improvements – perhaps the utilization of a branched saphenous graft.
Key words:
critical limb ischemia – peripheral arterial disease – bypass – revascularization – amputation
