    Long-segment endarterectomy using the Hall instrument offers a viable alternative to prosthetic grafts for leg revascularization. This procedure demonstrates good limb salvage rates, making it a valuable option for complex arterial disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Endovascular Procedures
    • Arterial Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Prosthetic grafts are a common alternative for leg revascularization when saphenous veins are unavailable.
    • High complication rates associated with prosthetic grafts necessitate exploration of alternative surgical techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of long-segment endarterectomy for iliac, femoral, and popliteal arteries.
    • To present long-segment endarterectomy as a realistic alternative to prosthetic bypass grafting.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Hall oscillating endarterectomy instrument for long-segment endarterectomy.
    • Performed 58 procedures on 53 patients, with a focus on technical considerations and potential pitfalls.

    Main Results:

    • Eighty-eight percent of procedures were performed for limb salvage.
    • Achieved an 88% cumulative limb salvage rate.
    • Reported a 55% cumulative patency rate over a 5 to 24-month follow-up period.
    • Observed a 5% operative mortality rate.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-segment endarterectomy is a technically demanding but effective procedure for leg revascularization.
    • The technique offers good limb salvage outcomes and can be combined with other inflow/outflow procedures.
    • This method presents a viable alternative to prosthetic grafts in selected patients.
