What is an extra anatomic bypass?
The extra-anatomic bypass refers to any bypass graft that is placed outside of the normal anatomic vascular pathway. These procedures are an important tool in vascular surgical armamentarium. They were developed as alternatives to traditional in-line reconstructions to overcome anatomic or physiologic constraints.
What is Axillobifemoral bypass?
Axillofemoral bypass is a method of surgical revascularization used in the setting of symptomatic aortoiliac occlusive disease for patients who have no endovascular option or who cannot undergo an aortofemoral reconstruction.
What is a fem fem crossover?
A femoral-femoral crossover is undertaken due to unilateral iliac disease, and is often done in tandem with iliac angioplasty/stenting and/or femoral endarterectomy. This involves dissection of the common femoral artery bilaterally and its bifurcation into the superficial femoral artery and profunda artery.
What is a fem pop graft?
What is femoropopliteal bypass surgery? A femoropopliteal (fem-pop) bypass is surgery to change the flow of your blood so it goes around blocked blood vessels. To do this surgery, your doctor will use something called a graft. The graft can be a vein taken from another place in your leg.
What is a fem fem?
Femorofemoral (femoral-femoral) bypass is a method of surgical revascularization used in the setting of unilateral common and/or external iliac artery occlusive disease.
How long does Aortobifemoral bypass last?
Aortobifemoral bypass is successful at keeping the artery open and reducing symptoms over 80% of the time for at least 10 years. Risks for aortobifemoral bypass procedure include: Failed or blocked grafts.
What is a fem pop procedure?
A femoropopliteal (fem-pop) bypass is surgery to change the flow of your blood so it goes around blocked blood vessels. To do this surgery, your doctor will use something called a graft. The graft can be a vein taken from another place in your leg. Or it can be a man-made blood vessel.
What is Fempop?
Femoral popliteal (also called femoropopliteal or Fem-Pop) bypass surgery is a procedure used to treat femoral artery disease. It is performed to bypass the blocked portion of main artery in the leg using a piece of another blood vessel.
What is a femoral pop?
How do you perform Aortobifemoral bypass?
The single end of the Y is sewn on the aorta. The two split ends of the Y are sewn below the blocked or narrowed areas of the femoral arteries. This allows the blood to travel around (bypass) the diseased areas. General anesthesia is used and will cause you to sleep through the procedure.
