Obturator Bypass Remains a Useful Option.

Background: The femoral tripod remains technically crucial in vascular surgery, as well for an elective revascularization as for an extensive approach to the arterial tree. The management of septic complications and healing disorders in this area is really challenging. Obturator bypass (OB) represents an alternative sometimes employed in this context, but few recent series were recently published.

Results of the Surgical Management of Acute Limb Ischemia in the Nonagenarians.

Background: The aging of the population leads us to treat older patients, in particular presenting with acute limb ischemia (ALI). However, there has been little evaluation of this pathology in the nonagenarians. The objectives of this work are thus to evaluate the 1-month and 1-year mortality of the nonagenarians treated for ALI, which made possible to determine the 1-year survival and to highlight the factors influencing the mortality.
