Description
Preservation and reconstruction of the ischemic leg presents vascular surgeons with one of the most complex and difficult challenges. The vast majority of patients with this condition are diabetic and have advanced multisystem problems which complicate their case significantly. Lower extremity arterial reconstruction has improved dramatically in the last ten years and the book addresses and focuses on these areas.'Management of Chronic Lower Limb Ischemia opens with an historical overview and then covers preoperative considerations. A main component of the book deals with surgical technique and includes angioplasty, prosthetic bypass, reversed vein bypass, in-situ vein bypass, and complex reconstruction. The latter part of the book discusses graft surveillance, including outcome and results.
