Abstract:
Pedal artery bypass has proven to be a safe, simple and durable procedure. Failure of a pedal artery reconstruction seldom results in an amputation that is more proximal than it would have been without previous attempted bypass. Thus an aggressive strategy in the revascularisation of the forefoot in case if critical ischemia based on tibial occlusive disease is worthwhile.
