Abstract:
Pedal bypasses, for salvage of a critically ischaemic limb, demonstrate excellent long-term outcomes. However, regular follow-up of patients and timely detection and treatment of a contingent haemodynamically significant bypass stenosis, which could cause its thrombosis, are prerequisites. The authors report a case of femoropedal bypass graft in which regular duplex follow-up detected critical stenoses at 18 months and at 36 months. Patch-angioplasty (at 18 months) and percutaneous balloon angioplasty (at 36 months) preserved the long-term patency of this pedal bypass graft.
