Managing Complications of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy

TL;DRAbstract

The literature describing the merits of open and endovascular arterial therapy for lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease is well represented with details of technique and operative results. Despite the robust data describing the efficacy and impact of infrainguinal arterial reconstruction on quality of life and limb salvage, little focus is placed on the potential complications that can befall patients who undergo these interventions. Frequently, revascularization strategies require complex considerations regarding a variety of variables, including the inflow vessel, distal target, hemodynamic impact of the involved lesion(s), conduit availability and quality, and perhaps most importantly, anticipated benefit to the patient. Even in the most optimal situation, the most experienced and competent vascular specialist will encounter a myriad of complications in the management of peripheral vascular arterial occlusive disease. These problems reflect the complexity of the ana
