Effect of intravenous naftidrofuryl on transcutaneous oxygen pressure in severe peripheral vascular disease.

Intravenous naftidrofuryl has been shown to improve transcutaneous oxygen pressure values in patients with severe ischemia of the lower limbs who were considered unsuitable for reconstructive surgery. Although it did not alter the outcome in patients with rest pain, the clinical impression is that it afforded symptomatic relief for a period of time. Clinical implications of these findings require further long-term studies.

Early experience with synchronous aorto-bifemoral and femoro-popliteal bypass grafts.

Over a three-year-period 51 concomitant aorto-bifemoral and femoro-popliteal reconstructions, using prosthetic materials below the inguinal ligament, were carried out in 39 patients, with both aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal disease, presenting with severe lower limb ischaemia. Thirteen grafts were inserted for rest pain and/or gangrene, while 38 were performed for disabling claudication. There was no perioperative mortality. Cummulative patency for all femoro-popliteal grafts was 53% at 2 years. Limb salvage rates of 84.6% at 2 years were achieved in patients with critical ischaemia. These results suggest that synchronous aorto-bifemoral and femoro-popliteal reconstructions with prosthetic materials can be performed safely in selected patients with acceptable early patency and limb salvage rates.
