Description
Summary:Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is challenging to treat because of the complex patient population, heterogeneity of limb presentations, and complicated arterial pathology. To meet this challenge, vascular surgeons need a broad range of skills to appropriately tailor interventions to each patient's specific needs. One tool in the armamentarium for patients with extensive arterial occlusive disease below the knee is an inframalleolar bypass. However, these procedures require a systematic approach to surgical planning and a high degree of technical competence. We describe our approach to inframalleolar bypass for limb preservation in suitable patients with advanced tibial artery disease.
