Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical result of arterial reconstruction in critical limb isehemia. Methods Clinical data of 123 cases (137 lower extremities ) of critical limb ischemia ( Fontaine Ⅳ ), 79 males and 44 females, with a mean age of ( 74 ± 9 ) years, undergoing arterial reconstruction, were reviewed. Comorbidities included tobacco use (33. 33% ), coronary artery disease (43.09%), hypertension ( 50. 41% ), cerebral vascular disease ( 29. 27% ), and diabetes mellitus(52. 33% ). Result Perioperative mortality rate was 4. 88%, and 88. 89% cases were followed up with amean time of (18 ± 18) months and the mortality rate was 13.01%. The postoperative pateney rate of1 year, 2 years and 3 years was (81±4)% ,(68±6)% and (61±7)% respectively. Arterial occlusion occurred in 25 cases, 4 cases received reoperation and 9 cases received major amputation. Tissue healing rate was 78. 85% after half a year and 83. 65% after 1 year. The limb salvage rate was (81±4)% ,(71 ±5 )% and (65 ± 6)% after 1 year, 2 years and 3 years respectively. Conclusion Arterial reconstruction for the critical limb ischemia increases the limb salvage rate with satisfactory patency rate and improves the healing of ulcer.
