  • Title: [The place of axillofemoral bridges in the treatment of arteriopathies of the lower extremities].
    Author: Lagneau P.
    Journal: Phlebologie; 1975; 28(3-4):447-52. PubMed ID: 1230806.
    Abstract:
    Certain patients who would be candidates for aorto-iliac revascularization surgery because of decubitus pain or gangrene, are not suitable for direct surgery because of general contraindications. Axillo-femoral bridging is thus an excellent and less aggressive revascularization procedure for these patients in order to avoid amputation. The authors carried out this type of bridging 261 times in 5 years in cases of high surgical risk.
