Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the extra-anatomic bypass surgery for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly. Methods From January 2005 to December 2008,33 elderly patients/39 limbs (age ranged from 70 to 87 years, mean 76.0 ± 3.0 years) with aortoiliac occlusive disease were retrospectively analyzed. According to Fontaine classification, there were 5 phase Ⅱ b cases (7 limbs), 22 phase Ⅲ cases (26 limbs), and 6 phase Ⅳ cases (6 limbs), all cases were with TASC C, D lesions. Results These 33 cases/39 limbs were tr eated with a variety of bypass, including axillobifemoral bypass (6 cases/12 limbs) ,axillofemoral bypass ( 20 cases/20 limbs ), femorofemoral bypass ( 7 cases/7 limbs ). Intermittent claudication improved in 5 cases, rest pain disappeared in 22 cases, and ulcers healed in 6 cases after operations. The mean ABI increased from 0.29 ± 0.11 to 0.66 ± 0.13 ( t = 2.69, P ＜ 0.05 ). All limbs were salvaged and there was no perioperative mortality within 30 days after operations. Postoperative complication rate was 9.1%. Patients were followed up for a median of 12 ±5 months (range, 6 to 28 months), primary patency rate was 89.7% (35/39), secondary patency rate was 94.9% (37/39), limb salvage rate was 92.3% (36/39). After dischargement the mortality was 6.1% (2/33) with one dying of myocardial infarction and another one of malignant tumor (gastric cancer). Conclusions Extra-anatomic bypass for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly is feasible, safe and effective, and the cardiopulmonary dysfunctions are the major risk factors for perioperative complications.
