Peripheral Bypass Surgery India
Overview
A peripheral bypass, also called a lower extremity bypass, is the surgical rerouting of blood flow around an artery that supplies blood to the legs and feet. This surgery is performed when the buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) in an artery has blocked the normal flow of blood that carries oxygen and nutrients to the lower extremities. Bypass surgery reroutes blood from above the obstructed portion of an artery to another vessel below the obstruction. A bypass surgery is named for the artery that will be bypassed and the arteries that will receive the rerouted blood.
The three common peripheral vascular bypass surgeries are:
Aortobifemoral bypass surgery, which reroutes blood from the abdominal aorta to the two femoral arteries in the groin.
Femoropopliteal bypass (fem-pop bypass) surgery, which reroutes blood from the femoral artery to the popliteal arteries above or below the knee.
Femorotibial bypass surgery, which reroutes blood between the femoral artery and the tibial artery.
What can I Expect?
Prior to your procedure, tests may be scheduled such as blood work, electrocardiogram (ECG), and chest x-ray. These may be done at a separate appointment, or the day of the procedure
Your physician will order tests to locate the blockage and choose the best places to connect the graft.
These tests include:
Peripheral Bypass Surgery, Peripheral Heart Bypass India, Heart Bypass, Peripheral Bypass SurgeryDuplex ultrasound: a non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves to measure real-time blood flow and detect blockages or other abnormalities in the structure of your arteries
CT Angiography: which produces x-ray pictures produced by an ultra-fast CT scanner, of the blood vessels in your legs using a contrast dye that is injected to highlight your arteries
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA): which uses magnetic fields and radio waves to show blockages inside your arteries
Angiography: which produces x-ray pictures of the blood vessels in your legs using a contrast dye that is injected to highlight your arteries
If you have arm or leg artery disease, your physician may order segmental blood pressures or pulse volume recording to determine the narrowing of the arteries in your arm or leg.
If you have had a heart attack in the past, or if you have chest pain, your physician might recommend a stress test or, possibly, a heart catheterization.
Your physician or vascular surgeon will give you the necessary instructions you need to follow before the surgery, such as fasting. Usually, your physician will ask you not to eat or drink anything 8 hours before your procedure.
Your physician will discuss with you whether to reduce or stop any
