New method treatment of diabetic foot

Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Professor of Vascular Surgery Fountain Valley for the past year, more than a dozen patients with diabetic foot

lower extremity arterial bypass to implement the new method significantly improves 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.

Gu Yong-quan, Professor in the domestic 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.
