For more than a dozen doctors over the past year to implement a new diabetic foot patients with lower extremity arterial bypass method, significantly improved the long-term patency of vascular bypass rates, in order to effectively preserve the patient’s body and its functions.
Ms. Zhu in patients with long-term with diabetes and hypertension, in recent years lower extremity symptoms of intermittent claudication, walking 50 meters or so that I am lower extremity pain, weakness, numbness. Line MRI examination at the hospital found that the left superficial femoral artery, peroneal artery and tibial artery occlusion dry. Lower extremity arterial bypass the traditional method is to artificial blood vessels made in the artery distal anastomosis, and with the “bridge” to clear the blood supply. This use of large and medium artery bypass methods or interventional therapy for treating diabetic foot although a definite effect, but the lower limbs such as Ms. Zhu distal (arterial below, including the tibiofibular stem artery, anterior tibial artery) artery without outflow tract or poor outflow tract cases, these treatments are unable to adopt, and only in the maintenance of the slow process of conservative treatment to be high after lower limb amputation gangrene.
Experts in the country’s first application of the radial artery dorsalis pedis artery bypass surgery. He applied this method for these patients may wish to save the limb, Ms.. This method innovations are: first tibiofibular stem artery endarterectomy, femoral artery to the tibiofibular do stem artery bypass graft, because in patients with posterior tibial artery occlusion, this method ensures peroneal artery patency; Then, the application of autologous saphenous vein in patients with artificial blood vessels from the distal to the anterior tibial artery bypass, the formation of multiple anastomosis, improved lower extremity arterial bypass of the outflow tract, reducing arterial resistance bridge, thus ensuring long after bypass surgery period of patency, avoiding amputation.
