Crural Bypass Surgery in Case of Critical Ischemia: Technical Aspects and Results.

Background Crural bypass surgery is one of the last options to salvage the leg. Compared to arterial reconstructions of more proximal localization patency rates are generally less good. The aim of this retrospective study was to answer the question if crural bypass surgery is justified.

Abnormal Venous Dilatation other than Typical Varicose Vein, Rare Encounters.

Varicose vein, one of the common vascular illnesses is usually a disease in lower limb. This is due to reflux of blood from deep venous system to superficial venous system. Rarely, this disease can also happen in veins in different location.

Creation of an Arterialized Cephalic Vein as Autologous Bypass for Below-Knee Reconstruction in Critical Limb Ischemia.

Two cases of below-knee bypasses using an arterialized cephalic vein (CV) are presented. Both patients had critical ischemia, but no greater or lesser saphenous veins (LSVs) were usable. According to ultrasound, the CVs were thin but regularly positioned.

Initial Experience of Complex Peripheral Bypass Surgery at Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital.

Peripheral arterial disease is seemingly silent yet is a major pubic health problem with limb threatening and life threatening consequences. This condition can initially be asymptomatic and gradually may progress to intermittent claudication and finally to critical ischemia. When conservative management is not sufficient and there is option of surgical management, peripheral bypass surgery is an established modality of treatment of peripheral arterial disease.
