Summary |
In the absence of feasible revascularization, nearly one third of patients with critical limb ischemia experienced major amputation at 6 months. In patients with an independent living status, this decision is difficult to support without exhausting all chances to attain limb salvage and preserve functional autonomy. The present report describes a new procedure of revascularization by performing a full endovascular extra-anatomic femoropopliteal bypass for the treatment of limb-threatening ischemia. The patient presented with extensive tissue loss and a short-term risk of major amputation. She had experienced previous failure of conventional surgical and endovascular revascularization procedures and ligation of proximal femoral artery precluded any further revascularization attempt. Limb salvage was achieved with this endovascular revascularization procedure with complete wound closure. The patient still presents an independent living status and preserved functional autonomy without wound recurrence after a follow-up of more than 5 years.
