Critical Limb Ischemia

unreconstructable peripheral arterial disease
Brief summary
Distal venous arterialisation (DVA) improve outcome in patients with nonreconstructible peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
Detailed description
The aim of this study was to estimate validity of distal venous arterialisation (DVA) as a limb salvage procedure. This prospective randomized study reported early results of 30 unreconstructible patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) treated during 2009 year at Clinic for vascular surgery, Clinical Center of Serbia in Belgrade. Patients were divided in two groups, 10 treated with DVA and 20 conservatively (CT) using antiplatelet drugs.
Interventions
The investigators perform reverse revascularisation of the ischemic limb with arterial blood supply from patent in flow artery to the superficial dorsal venous arch.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Absence of any possibility for direct revascularisation due to extensive occlusive disease of crural and pedal arteries * Sufficient deep venous system and usable great saphenous vein as a graft for in situ bypass surgery according duplex scanning * localized infective of necrotic process up to the metatarsal level * Satisfactory general patient condition
Exclusion criteria
* advanced lower limb ischemia * venous insufficiency of lower limb
