Abstract:
The patient was a 71-year-old man with intermittent claudication. Angiography indicated severe stenosis of the right common iliac artery. The right femoral artery was anastomosed to an artificial graft by conventional hand-sewn suturing and the left femoral artery by the Vascular Closure Staples (VCS). Postoperatively, the patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged. This new procedure minimizes trauma to the vascular intima since the arcuate legged clip is non-penetrating. Suturing with VCS is more extensive than by the conventional method. VCS has been applied by the authors to treat arteriosclerosis obliterans lesions.
