  • Title: [Axillo-femoro-distal bypass. Study of a series of 18 cases (author's transl)].

    Abstract:
    The present study involved 18 cases f axillo-femoro-distal bypass performed to revascularise either a popliteal artery (8 cases) or a leg artery (10 cases). The postoperative mortality (2 cases) was not directly related to the operative procedure. This type of operation was performed in particularly grave situations of severe ischaemia or sepsis. The results obtained were interesting in two-stage operations (7 good results in 11 operations) for ischaemia. In one-stage operations, corresponding to particularly grave situations, as well as in operations for sepsis (2 cases with 2 failures), the failure rate was by contrast very high. The results obtained were compared with those found in the literature. Such very long bypasses would finally appear to be justified in very grave situations in which there is no possibility of direct surgery with the aorta as the proximal source.
