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

Complications associated with the treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischemia

“…The choice of the revascularization method is determined by the peripheral artery condition: direct blood flow restoration through at least one of the distal arteries can ensure sufficient blood supply and quickly eliminate ischemia [13,14,15]. The arterial reconstruction success rate is greatly influenced by a lesion multifocality, a vascular damage degree, a degree of ischemia as an indication before surgery, a surgical intervention technique, a level of the distal anastomosis, and materials for bypass [16,17].…”
