Characteristics And Outcomes Of Patients Undergoing Infrainguinal Bypass In The Endovascular Era

Abstract

The Society for Vascular Surgery(SVS) Objective Performance Goals(OPG) for lower extremity bypass(LEB) were based upon patients who were good risk for revascularization. In the endovascular era, most LEB patients have had prior interventions and are anatomically high-risk. The goal of this study is to characterize our patient population undergoing LEB and determine if outcomes are commensurate with the parameters established by the SVS.
