Wat is een Iliacale prothese?
Door een klem onder de vernauwing kan er geen bloed vanuit het onderlichaam naar boven. Als dit gedaan is, wordt er een vaatprothese ingehecht. Dit is een vaatprothese gemaakt van heel stevige stof (dacron), die de kracht van de aorta op kan vangen.
Wat is een Bifurcatieprothese?
Vaak zijn er echter naast de verwijding in de buikslagader ook ernstige vernauwingen of verwijdingen in de bekkenslagaders. In dit geval wordt de vaatprothese aangesloten op de bekken- of liesslagaders. Deze vaatprothese wordt een broekprothese of bifurcatieprothese genoemd, omdat deze twee ‘broekspijpen’ heeft.
What is Aortobifemoral bypass graft surgery?
Aortobifemoral Bypass Graft Surgery. Aortofemoral bypass surgery (likewise called aorto-BI-femoral bypass surgery) is used to bypass diseased big blood vessels in the abdominal area and groin.
How are man-made grafts used in Aortobifemoral surgery?
To bypass the blocked blood vessel, blood is redirected through a graft made of synthetic material (such as polytetrafluoroethyline [PTFE] or Dacron), which is sewn to the existing artery. These man-made grafts are more likely to be used than transplanted natural grafts for aortobifemoral surgery because the blood vessels involved are large.
What are the risks of aortofemoral bypass surgery?
Specific risks for aortofemoral bypass surgery include: The actual risk varies from patient to patient and largely depends on the presence of other medical problems, such as heart, lung and kidney diseases. Tests performed before the operation help to identify patients that have these medical problems and are therefore at higher risk.
What is the prevalence of graft limb thrombosis following Aortobifemoral bypass surgery?
Graft limb thrombosis happens in up to 30% of patients following aortobifemoral bypass. A higher incidence occurs with younger patients, female gender, and extra-anatomic bypasses and those who failed to quit smoking post-operatively.
