VENOUS OUTFLOW AFTER HARVESTING OF FEMORAL VEIN FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF AORTOILIAC SEGMENT

Abstract

Objective: to define the state of venous outflow after femoral vein harvesting for aortoiliac reconstruction. Material and methods. The distant results of 22 aortoiliac reconstructions with deep femoral veins performed at Gomel Regional Vascular Surgery Department over 2010-2015 have been studied. 5 patients were operated for late complications (false aneurisms) of previous aorto-femoral bypass, 8 patients were treated for acute prosthetic infection and 9 patients underwent initial surgery for terminal stage of critical limb ischemia. Results and discussion. The group of the patients after initial reconstructions revealed significant edema and lymphorea immediately after the surgery. It was not necessary to perform fasciotomy in all the cases. There were no signs of chronic venous insufficiency in all the patients in the remote postoperational period. Conclusion. The application of femoral vein for aortoiliac bypass is safe from the point of view of venous morbidity. Outflow disturbances were transient in all the cases and no additional treatment was needed.
