Bypass treatment of diabetic foot

For more than a dozen doctors over the past year to implement a new diabetic foot patients with lower extremity arterial bypass method, significantly

improved the long-term patency of vascular bypass rates, in order to effectively preserve the patient's body and its functions.

Ms. Zhu in patients with long-term with diabetes and hypertension, in recent years lower extremity symptoms of intermittent claudication, walking 50 meters

or so that I am lower extremity pain, weakness, numbness. Line MRI examination at the hospital found that the left superficial femoral artery, � peroneal

artery and tibial artery occlusion dry. Lower extremity arterial bypass the traditional method is to artificial blood vessels distal anastomosis done in the

� artery, using the "bridge" to clear the blood supply. This use of large and medium artery bypass methods or interventional therapy for treating diabetic

foot although a precise effect, however, such as Ms. Zhu distal lower extremities (� arteries below, including the tibiofibular stem artery, anterior tibial

artery) artery without outflow tract or a case of poor outflow tract, these treatments are unable to adopt, and only in the maintenance of the slow process

of conservative treatment to be high after lower limb amputation gangrene.

Experts in the country's first application of the radial artery dorsalis pedis artery bypass surgery. He applied this method for these patients may wish to

save the limb, Ms.. This method innovations are: first tibiofibular stem artery endarterectomy, femoral artery to the tibiofibular do stem artery bypass

graft, because in patients with posterior tibial artery occlusion, this method ensures peroneal artery patency; Then, the application of autologous saphenous

vein in patients with artificial blood vessels from the distal to the anterior tibial artery bypass, the formation of multiple anastomosis, improved lower

extremity arterial bypass of the outflow tract, reducing arterial resistance bridge, thus ensuring long after bypass surgery period of patency, avoiding

amputation.
