A 53-year-old man was found to have critical ischaemia of his left lower limb with foot gangrene. He underwent extremely distal surgical revascularisation using a great saphenous vein bypass graft. The choice of a very distal artery as run-off vessel promoted a faster wound healing and pain relief, with improvement in quality of life.

Abstract
A 53-year-old man was found to have critical ischaemia of his left lower limb with foot gangrene. He underwent extremely distal surgical revascularisation using a great saphenous vein bypass graft. The choice of a very distal artery as run-off vessel promoted a faster wound healing and pain relief, with improvement in quality of life.File in questo prodotto:
