title: Simultaneous hybrid peripheral re-vascularization: early results.
abstract: Endovascular and open surgical interventions may be combined in treatment of peripheral arterial disease. In this study, we presented our simultaneous hybrid peripheral interventions under the light of current literature data. Eleven patients who were operated for occlusive peripheral arterial disease without aneurysms between June 2008 and November 2010 at our hybrid operating room were investigated retrospectively. Generally, endovascular intervention was performed initially, and then followed by surgery. After hybrid interventions, control angiograms were held during the same session. None of the patients experienced either stent or graft occlusion during early postoperative period. Primary patency rate was found to be 100% for the postoperative first six months. Ankle-brachial indices (ABI) increased significantly during postoperative period and clinical symptoms were relieved in all patients (mean preoperative ABI: 0.43 ± 0.08, mean postoperative sixth month ABI: 0.87 ± 0.08). Peripheral hybrid interventions may be performed both in separate sessions and also simultaneously by experienced teams if an angiography device is available within the operating room.
