[Perspectives of using popliteo-tibial shunting in distal portions of the lower extremities arteries lesions].
In the treatment of ischemic disorders in patients, suffering diabetes mellitus, the venous shunting toward a. pedis dorsalis and/or paramalleolar segment of a. tibialis posterior are aplied most frequently. Distal shunting was performed in 3 patients suffering critical ischemia of the lower extremities with possible alternative of amputation operation. The diameter and the state of internal vessel surface, the presence of its calcification, as well as the state of the blood inflow and outflow ways, had constituted the criterions of choice of certain segment of arteries for anastomosing. In the presence of several available vessels, the better surgical access to the artery and shorter way for shunting were taken into account. In 2 patients popliteoposterotibial shunting was performed, using autoven (1 observation) and the composed shunt (1 observation); and in one--distal anastomosis was formed with a. pedis dorsalis. In 2 mo after the operation the composed shunt thrombosis occurred. In patients, to whom autovenous shunting was performed, the regional hemodynamics indices were stable, the shunts are functioning.
