  • Title: Restoration of the absent femoral pulse.
    Author: Shute K, Makin GS, Hopkinson BR.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1981 May; 152(5):611-2. PubMed ID: 7221843.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and eighty-three consecutive operations for ischemia of the lower limb were performed to restore an absent femoral pulse. Ninety-seven patients considered to be fit had an aortofemoral or iliofemoral bypass graft and 86 high risk patients had a femorofemoral or axillofemoral graft. The best results were obtained in those with the aortofemoral or iliofemoral grafts, but superficial grafts were a satisfactory alternative even in the unfit patients with critical ischemia.
