Popliteal-to-distal extreme bypass in endovascular era

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is characterized by rest pain and tissue loss, with an annual mortality rate of 20% and amputation rate of 40%, if not treated. Open bypass surgery is recommended in CLTI, depending on the availability of good quality venous material, outflow artery patency and surgical expertise. Aim of the study is to analyze primary patency, limb salvage and survival rate in patient undergoing popliteal-to-distal bypass.
