    Reconstructive arterial surgery for critical limb ischemia showed good results. Aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal procedures achieved limb salvage rates of 75.4% and 73.5% respectively, with low operative mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Arterial Reconstruction
    • Ischemic Limb Disease

    Background:

    • Critical limb ischemia poses a significant threat to limb viability.
    • Reconstructive arterial surgery aims to restore blood flow and salvage limbs.
    • Historical data on surgical outcomes is crucial for evaluating current practices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the outcomes of reconstructive arterial surgery for critically ischemic limbs.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal reconstructions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 113 critically ischemic limbs treated between 1958 and 1972.
    • Surgical procedures included aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal reconstructions.
    • Outcomes assessed included operative mortality and limb salvage rates.

    Main Results:

    • 61 aorto-iliac reconstructions resulted in 4 operative deaths (6.5%) and a 75.4% limb salvage rate.
    • 49 femoro-popliteal operations had 3 deaths (6.1%) and a 73.5% limb salvage rate.
    • Overall, reconstructive surgery demonstrated considerable success in limb salvage during this period.

    Conclusions:

    • Reconstructive arterial surgery is an effective treatment for critical limb ischemia.
    • Both aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal procedures offer significant limb salvage benefits.
    • These findings support the historical efficacy of surgical intervention in managing severe peripheral arterial disease.
