Abstract:
Objective To report the clinical effects of microsurgery in treatment of infected extremities after blood vessel prosthesis were transplanted.Methods From Jan.1998 to Dec.2008,8 cases of major vascular injuries in extremities were blood-supplied by cross bridge vascular anastomosis from uninjured extremities,including 4 cases of femoral artery and vein,2 cases of popliteal artery and vein,and 2 cases of brachial artery and vein. Results After 3 years of follow-up,blood circulation of infected extremities were reestablished in each of 8 cases,as well as function and appearance recovered.Conclusion The procedure of cross bridge vascular anastomosis from uninjured extremities may efficiently restitute the blood supply of the infected extremities after blood vessel prosthesis were transplanted,and decrease the rate of amputation.
