Objectives: the effect of gender on the long-term results of infrainguinal arterial reconstruction are poorly investigated.
Methods: all patients undergoing infrainguinal arterial reconstruction with an autogenous vein are as 11 years period was prospectively evaluated.
Results: four hundred and fifty reconstructions (292 man, 160 women) were performed as on 416 patients. Thirty-day mortality was 1.1% (n=5). Women were on average older (74 vs 68; p<0.001) and disease was more advanced (81 vs 68%,p =0.013 with stage of critical ischaemia). Primary (58 vs 61%) and primary assisted patency rates (82 vs 84%) were comparable. Limb salvage and survival after 60 months were not different. On multivariate analysis age and stage of the disease were independent variables for patency and survival. Diabetes and gender reached statistical significance as predictors of limb salvage only.
Conclusion: age and stage of the disease were independent predictors for patency and survival, diabetes and gender for limb salvage.

Objectives: In April 2022, the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) published the Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for the management of intermittent claudication (IC). Our goal was to compare practice patterns before and after publication of the AUC to identify changes.
Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) peripheral vascular intervention (PVI), and suprainguinal, and infrainguinal bypass registries were analyzed for interventions for IC.

Surgical thrombectomy has been established as an effective treatment for acute limb ischemia (ALI). Nevertheless, manipulation via the common femoral artery (CFA) to retrieve thrombus in the infra-popliteal artery sometimes proves less effective. We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing surgical thrombectomy for infra-inguinal ALI from January 2010 to December 2022.

Objective: The impact of great saphenous vein harvest technique on infrainguinal bypass outcomes remains a matter of debate, with no robust evidence favoring a specific technique over the other. This study aims to compare the outcomes of open vein harvest (OVH) with endoscopic vein harvest (EVH) in patients undergoing infrainguinal bypass surgery.
Methods: Patients who underwent an infrainguinal bypass from a femoral origin using a single-segment great saphenous vein between 2011 and 2023 were identified in the Vascular Quality Initiative infrainguinal bypass module.
Antegrade Femoral Puncture Using a Suture-Mediated Closure Device in Infrainguinal Endovascular Interventions.

Department of Vascular Surgery, IRCCS Sacro Cuore-Don Calabria, Negrar, VR, Italy.
Background: ProGlide is a suture-mediated vascular closure device (VCD) indicated for retrograde access closure at the common femoral artery (CFA). However, its off-label use for antegrade and/or superficial femoral artery (SFA) access has become common in many practices. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ProGlide for femoral artery access closure in patients undergoing antegrade infrainguinal endovascular procedures.
