Aortobifemoral Bypass Surgery
It is a surgical procedure that creates a new path around a large, blocked blood vessel in the abdomen or groin. In this procedure, a graft is placed to bypass the clogged blood vessel. The graft is an artificial channel. On one end, the graft is connected to your aorta before the blocked or diseased section and thus the opposite one is attached to femoral arteries after the blocked or diseased section. This graft alters the blood flow and allows the blood to continue flowing precedent to the blockage.
There are various types of bypass procedures. The aorta bifemoral bypass is meant for the blood vessels that run between the aorta and the femoral arteries in the legs. This procedure leaves a positive effect on your health.
Procedure
The procedure for an aorta bifemoral bypass includes the following steps:
- · Your doctor may require that you simply stop taking some medications before this surgery, especially people who affect the clotting of your blood.
- · Your doctor may require that you simply stop smoking before the surgery to scale back possible complications.
- · You will be put under general anesthesia.
- · Your doctor will begin with an incision in your abdomen.
- · Another incision is going to be made in your groin area.
- · A fabric tube-shaped during a Y is going to be used as the graft.
- · The single end of the Y-shaped tube is going to be connected to the artery in your abdomen.
- · The contradicting two ends of the tube are getting to be connected to the two femoral arteries in your legs.
- · The ends of the tube, or graft, are going to be sewn into the arteries.
- · The blood flow is going to be redirected into the graft.
- · The blood will flow through the graft and go around, or bypass, the planet of the blockage.
- · Blood flow is going to be restored to your legs.
- · Your doctor will then close the incisions and you'll be taken to recovery·
Why is Aortobifemoral Bypass Surgery done?
An Aortobifemoral Bypass becomes necessary when the large blood vessels in the groin, abdomen, or pelvis are blocked. Due to the blood vessel blockage no, or very little, blood passes into your legs.
The procedure is usually done only if there is a danger of losing your limb or there are some serious or significant symptoms. These symptoms may include:
- · leg aches
- · pain in the legs
- · legs that feel heavy
Take away
Generally, the conditions that cause this type of blockage are peripheral arterial or aortoiliac disease and blocked or severely narrowed arteries. For correct guidance against these contact Dr. Manar Chikh trab, one of the best vascular surgeons in Dubai working at Al Zahra Hospital, Dubai.
