    Journal: Pol Tyg Lek; ; 47(7-8):181-3. PubMed ID: 1437813.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the presented study was to analyse the surgical technique and results of recanalization of the peripheral segment of iliac artery with Kensey's technique. Altogether 16 patients were operated. Arterial patency was observed in 14 patients immediately after surgery. This number decreased to 11 after a 3-month follow-up. Complications in the form of perforation of the arterial wall, hemorrhage at the site of puncture and thrombotic lesions in the reconstructed arterial channel were seen in 4 cases. Authors' own experience suggests that Kensey's technique together with laser surgery are the treatment of choice in case of iliac arterial occlusion in patients, in whom classic surgery is contraindicated.
