    Summary

    Surgical management of leg occlusive disease offers low-risk palliation. Limb salvage rates reach 70% at two years for patients with gangrene, and bypass grafting does not increase amputation risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Peripheral Artery Disease Management

    Background:

    • Symptomatic occlusive disease of the leg requires effective management strategies.
    • Associated comorbidities significantly impact patient survival in vascular interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of operative management for symptomatic leg occlusive disease.
    • To assess limb salvage rates and the impact of bypass grafting on amputation risk.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing operative management for leg occlusive disease.
    • Evaluation of limb salvage rates, amputation incidence, and mortality associated with bypass grafting.

    Main Results:

    • Operative management demonstrated low-risk palliation for leg occlusive disease.

  • Limb salvage rate was 70% at 2 years in patients presenting with gangrene.
  • Bypass grafting did not elevate the risk of subsequent amputation, with an associated mortality of 11%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical intervention is a viable option for palliation in leg occlusive disease.
    • Primary amputation should be avoided in favor of limb salvage procedures like bypass grafting.
    • Associated conditions are critical factors influencing long-term survival in these patients.
