ABSTRACT

Objective To study the treatment effect of multilevel atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremity. Methods From July 2004 to January 2008,intraoperative iliac balloon angioplasty and stenting combined with blood vassel prosthesis or autogenous reversed great saphenous vein bypass were performed on 32 patients suffering from lower extremity multilevel atheresclerotic occlusive disease. Results Surgical procedures were technically successful in all patients. The effect was good,intermittent claudication disappear, and rest pain improved. Preoperative vs postoperative ABI was 0.28±0.14 vs 0.65±0.18 (P<0.05 ).Thirty patients were followed up,the mean following period was 18 months (range of 3-36 months).Conclusions Simultaneous intravaseular interventional therapy combined with vascular bypass are effective in the treatment for patients with severe and multilevel atheroselerotie occlusive disease of lower extremity, the operation is less traumatic and the procedures are easy to do.The result is satisfactory.
