Abstract:
Revascularization of the lower extremity in patients with diabetes or chronic obstructive arterial disease is a challenging, still unsolved problem. Modern day technique (stem cell therapy, hyperbaric therapy) has yet to deliver satisfactory results. Homogenous (safenous vein) or heterogeneous (terom, dacron, PTFE-teflon) by-pass surgery is limited because of technical difficulty and positive outcomes have a short duration. All these lead to, in most patients, to amputations as first line therapy or as an alternative to failed approaches. By-pass surgery is limited by graft obstruction. One of the current approaches is the use of omental flap autotransplantation.

Veins of Lower Limbs
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the knee,...
