[Revascularization of distal arteriopathies: a new approach].
The diffuse nature of arterial occlusions in Buerger's disease compromises the effect of revascularization. Nevertheless, the muscle branches are quite often unaffected by the occlusive disease making revascularization of collateral arterial branches a promising alternative to conventional procedures. Revascularization by a short autologous venous graft from the grand anastomotic or gastrocnemius artery can be an alternative technique. Advances in microsurgery have made such revascularizations possible.
