Background: Critical limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) requires revascularization whenever it is possible. The great saphenous vein represents the surgical conduit of choice. However, it is not always available, in particular in multi-operated patients.

Methods: From December 2000 to January 2023, 16 patients with a JRAO (TASC D lesions) underwent total laparoscopic aorto-bifemoral bypass. The patients' database was prospective and the file analysis was retrospective.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of endovascular and hybrid treatments for Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) II D aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD D), amidst debates favoring conventional surgery.
- It analyzed data from 82 patients between 2016 and 2021, measuring primary patency rates and other outcomes over 12 and 24 months, finding a 99% technical success rate and variances in patency based on factors like lesion calcification.
- The findings suggest that while endovascular and hybrid methods show promising results, further research is needed to enhance patency and overall treatment effectiveness.
Introduction: A fenestrated endograft (FE) is the first-line endovascular option for juxta and pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. A physician-modified stent-graft (PMSG) and laser in situ fenestration (LISF) have emerged to circumvent manufacturing delays, anatomic standards, and the procedure's cost raised by FE. The objective was to compare different fenestrations from a mechanical point of view.
