Lower extremity revascularization in diabetes: late observations.
HYPOTHESIS Despite the success of infrainguinal arterial bypass in diabetic limb and foot salvage, optimism remains guarded because of purported high late mortality and limb loss in patients with diabetes. DESIGN Inception cohort, with minimum 5-year follow-up. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Eight hundred forty-three consecutive patients undergoing lower extremity arterial rec...
متن کاملAcute lower extremity paralysis after lower extremity endovascular intervention.
A 61-year-old man underwent successful percutaneous revascularization of both lower limbs with multiple stent implantations. Paralysis of right lower limb was noticed after completion of procedure when transferring the patient from angiography table. Since hematoma compressing lumbosacral neural plexus could be a fatal complication, computed tomography (CT) image was taken. CT showed bulge of d...
متن کاملSimultaneous hybrid revascularization for symptomatic lower extremity arterial occlusive disease
Multilevel revascularization, using a combination of endovascular and open (hybrid) surgery, is increasingly being used. Hybrid surgery allows complex anatomy to be treated by minimally invasive procedures in medically high risk patients. The aim of the present study was to report a novel hybrid surgery for lesions in the multilevel lower extremity arteries and to evaluate the clinical outcomes...
متن کاملOverview of new technologies for lower extremity revascularization.
Lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease poses a unique challenge to traditional angioplasty-based endovascular therapies. The diffuse nature of lower extremity atherosclerotic disease, the presence of chronic total occlusions, poor distal runoff, and the presence of critical limb ischemia all have contributed to the disappointing results of balloon angioplasty for complex infraing...
متن کاملPreoperative statins and limb salvage after lower extremity revascularization in the Medicare population.
BACKGROUND Statins stabilize atherosclerotic plaque, decrease mortality after surgical procedures, and are linked to anti-inflammatory effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate preoperative administration of statins and longitudinal limb salvage after lower extremity endovascular revascularization and lower extremity open surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients were selected from 200...
