Abstract: | p < 0.01). Cumulative combined primary patency at 1 year by life-table methods was 82 ± 10% in the staged group and 83 ± 9%
in the simultaneous group (p= 0.79). Mean follow-up was 13 ± 6 months. There is a role for balloon angioplasty and stent placement in operative revascularization
of ischemic limbs in selected patients: patency was similar to that produced with the staged approach while the length of
stay was shorter. Intraoperative balloon angioplasty is safe and effective and stents permit a measure of control in assuring
an optimal intraoperative postangioplasty result. |
