Summary

The authors evaluate a group of 110 patients to whom a pedal bypass was implanted in the period from October 2000 to July 2009. In all cases the limb was at risk of high amputation and the possibilities of endovascular and conservative therapy were exhausted. No patient died during the procedure, early postoperative mortality was 1.8%. During the follow-up (average, 30 ± 26.4 months; range, 1.2–91.2 months) 21 bypass occlusions occurred, of which in 8 cases bypass patency was restored by an early intervention. In the reference period the cumulative probability of primary and secondary patency of pedal bypasses is 67.2% and 69.5%, the cumulative probability of limb salvage by pedal bypass surgery is 78.0%. A part of the study is a statistical evaluation of the data and findings of how the primary and secondary patency of pedal bypasses and the probability of limb salvage are influenced by diabetes mellitus.

Key words:
pedal bypass – chronic critical lower limb ischaemia – diabetic foot syndrome – long term outcomes
