    Vascular reconstructions effectively treat intermittent claudication, offering high long-term limb patency and symptom relief. Procedures like thrombendarterectomy and bypass grafts provide durable solutions for aortoiliac, ileofemoral, and femoropopliteal occlusive disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Peripheral Artery Disease

    Background:

    • Disabling intermittent claudication significantly impacts patient quality of life.
    • Occlusive disease in the aortoiliac, ileofemoral, and femoropopliteal arteries necessitates effective treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of various vascular reconstructions for intermittent claudication.
    • To assess limb patency rates and symptomatic relief following surgical interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 172 vascular reconstructions in 140 patients over 8 years.
    • Surgical procedures included thrombendarterectomy and saphenous vein bypass grafts for different arterial segments.
    • Cumulative 5-year limb patency rates were calculated for distinct patient groups.

    Main Results:

    • High cumulative 5-year limb patency rates (85.6%–100%) were observed across four surgical groups.
    • Age and diabetes did not significantly affect patency outcomes.
    • Amputation was required in only 2 limbs, highlighting the safety and effectiveness of the procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Vascular reconstruction offers a high rate of long-term patency and symptomatic improvement for patients with severe claudication.
    • Surgical interventions are effective in managing aortoiliac, ileofemoral, and femoropopliteal occlusive disease.
    • These reconstructive techniques provide durable limb salvage and functional recovery.
