[Pro and contra profundaplasty (author's transl)]

J F Vollmar, B Heyden, E U Voss

    Zentralblatt Fur Chirurgie
    |January 1, 1982

    Summary

    Profundaplasty is an effective surgical option for lower extremity revascularization, particularly for limb salvage. Careful patient selection and surgical technique are crucial for successful outcomes in treating arterial occlusive disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Peripheral Arterial Disease
    • Surgical Techniques

    Context:

    • The profundaplasty has emerged as a significant surgical approach for lower extremity revascularization.
    • It is utilized for both claudication and critical limb salvage.
    • Its efficacy is contingent upon meticulous patient selection and refined surgical methodologies.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of profundaplasty in treating lower extremity arterial occlusive disease.
    • To identify prerequisites and contraindications for successful profundaplasty.
    • To compare outcomes of profundaplasty with extensive arterial reconstructions.

    Summary:

    • Profundaplasty, combined with aorto-iliac inflow repair and lumbar sympathectomy, yields superior late results in combined aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal occlusive lesions compared to total repair of both segments.
    • Key prerequisites include simultaneous aorto-iliac inflow repair, a patent popliteal artery (receptor segment), and adequate distal runoff.
    • Contraindications involve severe disease of the profundaplasty artery, complete popliteal artery occlusion, or occlusion of more than two infrapopliteal arteries.

    Impact:

    • Profundaplasty offers an effective alternative to lengthy arterial reconstructions with uncertain outcomes for over 80% of patients with leg artery occlusive disease.
    • Adjunctive lumbar sympathectomy enhances blood flow in the restored deep femoral artery.
    • This procedure provides a valuable option for limb salvage when extensive distal grafting is otherwise indicated.
