Treatment for gangrene: Arterial bypass surgery
- Using autogenous vein or engineered graft is the commonest vascular surgical procedure performed by vascular surgeons. Critical lower ischemia is the most frequent indication for bypass procedures, since without vascular interventions limb and sometimes life loss is imminent.
- Procedures commonly performed for lower limb ischemia:
- Aorto-Iliac/ Femoral Bypass Graft
- Femoral Popliteal Bypass.
- Infra Popliteal (Below Knee) Bypass/Distal Bypass procedures can be performed down to the arteries in the foot.
- Bypass to upper limb arteries and those in the neck
- Other procedures include Visceral Arterial/Venous (Rental, Mesenteric, Portal Vein) bypass procedures.
- Similar procedures in the upper limbs including Cervical and First Rib Resection for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
