Intraoperative measurement of pressure gradient in median arcuate ligament syndrome as a rationale for radical surgical approach.

Background: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) describes clinical symptoms in patients with stenosis of the celiac artery due to external compression by the ligament. There is an ongoing debate, whether sole release of the median arcuate ligament warrants long-term relief of the symptoms.

Materials And Methods: Eight patients diagnosed with MALS underwent open surgical treatment beginning with the release of the ligament.

Intercondylar Route of Prosthetic Infragenicular Femoropopliteal Bypass Has Better Primary, Assisted, and Secondary Patency but Not Limb Salvage Rate Compared to the Medial Route.

. To compare the differences between medial and intercondylar infragenicular femoropopliteal prosthetic bypasses in terms of their midterm patency and limb salvage rates. .
