Hemodynamics of sequential grafts.

M M Hadcock, J Ubatuba, F N Littooy

    American Journal of Surgery
    |August 1, 1983

    Summary

    Sequential bypass grafts may not improve distal lower extremity blood flow. Studies show adding a sequential anastomosis can decrease distal flow by creating competitive collateral circulation, suggesting potential limitations.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Hemodynamics
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Sequential femoropopliteal-tibial grafts are proposed for severe distal lower extremity ischemia.
    • The technique aims to improve graft patency via increased proximal flow.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the hemodynamic effects of sequential bypass grafting.
    • To determine if sequential anastomoses increase distal graft flow or create competitive collateral flow.

    Main Methods:

    • Seven adult dogs with chronic occlusions underwent sequential iliofemoral bypass grafting.
    • Angiography was used to assess graft patency.
    • Proximal and distal graft flows were measured with and without the sequential anastomosis open.

    Main Results:

    • Proximal graft flows significantly increased with the sequential anastomosis open.
    • Distal graft flows significantly decreased in all dogs when the sequential anastomosis was open.
    • This indicates the development of competitive collateral flow.

    Conclusions:

    • Sequential bypass grafting may have limitations in improving distal limb perfusion.
    • The addition of a sequential anastomosis can negatively impact distal flow dynamics.
