  2. Vascular bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

    In the legs, bypass grafting is used to treat peripheral vascular disease, acute limb ischemia, aneurysms and trauma.While there are many anatomical arrangements for vascular bypass grafts in the lower extremities depending on the location of the disease, the principle is the same: to restore blood flow to an area without normal flow.

  3. Femoropopliteal bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoropopliteal_bypass

    Femoropopliteal bypass surgery is mainly used to treat cases of femoral artery blockage that cause more severe symptoms that restrict completion of daily tasks such as peripheral artery disease and claudication, or cases that have not responded well to other treatment options . Before surgery is considered, adjustments are made to lifestyle ...

  4. Percutaneous intentional extraluminal revascularization

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_intentional...

    Percutaneous intentional extraluminal revascularization, or PIER, is an endovascular approach to revascularization of peripheral occlusions that may serve as an alternative to transluminal angioplasty. It is a minimally invasive procedure requiring only local anesthetic, which proves to be a major advantage over invasive surgical bypass ...

  5. Revascularization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revascularization

    For coronary artery disease (ischemic heart disease), coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (coronary balloon angioplasty) are the two primary means of revascularization. [2] When those cannot be done, transmyocardial revascularization or percutaneous myocardial revascularization, done with a laser, may be an option.

  6. Angioplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angioplasty

    Peripheral angioplasty refers to the use of a balloon to open a blood vessel outside the coronary arteries. It is most commonly done to treat atherosclerotic narrowings of the abdomen, leg and renal arteries caused by peripheral artery disease. Often, peripheral angioplasty is used in conjunction with guide wire, peripheral stenting and an ...

  7. Vein graft failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein_Graft_Failure

    In medicine, vein graft failure (VGF) is a condition in which vein grafts, which are used as alternative conduits in bypass surgeries (e.g. CABG), get occluded. Veins, mainly the great saphenous vein (GSV) are the most frequently used conduits in bypass surgeries (CABG or PABG), due to their ease of use and availability. [1]
