AI Article Synopsis
- In patients who can tolerate the stress of clamping the descending thoracic aorta, thoracofemoral bypass could offer better durability and blood flow compared to axillobifemoral bypass.
- This procedure can be done using less invasive methods, such as thoracoscopic techniques and robotic assistance to connect the blood vessels (anastomosis).
- Overall, these advancements in technique aim to improve patient outcomes by reducing invasiveness and enhancing perfusion.
Article Abstract
In the patient who can withstand the added physiologic stress of descending thoracic aortic clamping, thoracofemoral bypass may have the advantages of longer durability and increased perfusion when compared with axillobifemoral bypass. Using thorascopic techniques and a robot to perform the anastomosis, this procedure may be performed in a less invasive manner.
