Limb Salvage in the Elderly

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1989
Sixty-eight lower extremity bypass procedures for severe lower limb ischemia were undertaken on 53 patients of 75 years of age and over. The operative mortality was 4.4%. At two years cumulative limb salvage, patient survival, graft patency and survival with an intact limb were 77%, 72%, 44%, and 56%, respectively.

The Economics of Limb Salvage in Diabetes

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2011
Limb salvage requires early prevention therapy, knowledgeable use of wound care technology, and active management of peripheral vascular disease. This field has changed considerably over the past decade, with new advanced wound healing products and minimally invasive surgery for peripheral vascular disease.

Extended profundoplasty for limb salvage

Pain, 1979
Extended profundoplasty was performed in 50 limbs of 39 patients for relief of rest pain or gangrene. This operation was effective in 95% of the limbs operated on because of rest pain, and in 54.5% of the limbs operated on because of gangrene. In 32 limbs the popliteal artery was patent.

Pedal reconstructions for limb salvage

European Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1991
If only one pedal artery is patent the vascular surgeon has to decide between primary amputation and a bypass. Between 1980 and 1990, 460 femoro-distal bypasses were performed in our clinic and 8% (39 cases) of these received a pedal reconstruction. At discharge from the hospital 85% of these grafts were patent.

Limb salvage for osteosarcoma.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1988
Five issues need to be addressed when considering limb salvage instead of amputation for osteosarcoma of the extremities. Is there any decrease in survival with limb salvage when compared to amputation? What are the differences in the immediate morbidity between the two surgical procedures?

Lower Limb Salvage in Trauma

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2010
The primary goal of limb salvage is to restore or maintain function. To achieve this goal, proper patient selection, timely reconstruction, and choosing the procedure best suited for the patient are paramount. The decision to salvage a limb should be individualized for each patient, taking into consideration not only the extremity wound but also the ...

Pedal Bypass for Limb Salvage

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2005
Pedal bypass grafting is often the only method of limb salvage in patients with chronic critical lower limb ischemia due to atherosclerotic obliteration of the crural arteries, including patients with diabetic foot gangrene. It involves arterial reconstruction with distal anastomosis to one of the pedal arteries.Between January 2000 and June 2004, 54 ...

The Multidisciplinary Approach to Limb Salvage

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2004
There is considerable morbidity and mortality associated with ulcerations of the lower limbs in patients with diabetes as well as non-diabetic patients. The role of the primary care physician and podiatrist in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of lower extremity wounds is critical.

EXTENDING THE LIMITS OF LIMB SALVAGE

Annual Review of Medicine, 1987
Over the past several years a combination of diverse steps has culminated in a significant improvement in our ability to save ischemic extremities. Encompassing all phases of vascular surgery, these advances in diagnosis, therapy, and long-term management are outlined.
