Vein Harvest Wound Healing after Bypass Surgery for Critical Limb Ischemia.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Lower-limb revascularization surgery, especially when performed using the great saphenous vein, predisposes patients to major surgical trauma on initially ischemic tissue. Vein harvest wounds (VHWs) after infrainguinal revascularization heal slowly. This study's aim was to assess the factors associated with VHW healing after infrainquinal bypass surgery for critical limb ischemia (CLI). METHODS:A retrospective patient record study was conducted. All patients with CLI who underwent infrainguinal bypass surgery with autologous vein graft between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2017, in the Turku University Hospital, were included. Follow-up data were collected until February 28, 2018. The following data was collected from the patient files; risk factors, ankle-brachial indices (ABIs), systolic toe pressures (STPs), the presence of an ischemic ulcer, VHW dehiscence, and the time when the VHW was completely healed. Procedures with outflow vessels at either popliteal or tibial artery were analyzed separately. Descriptive and univariate statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS:Altogether, 195 patients were operated on for CLI, of whom 133 (68.2%) patients had ischemic ulcers. The mean follow-up time was 535.0 days (range 3.0-1143.0 days). The mean ABI improvement was 0.49 (P = 0.00), and STP improvement, 39.9 mm Hg (P = 0.00). The median time taken when VHW was healed was 48.0 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 39.4-56.6) in patients without ischemic ulcers and 82.0 days (95% CI, 59.7-104.3) in patients with ischemic ulcers, P = 0.03. VHW in patients who underwent popliteal artery bypass (62 days, 95% CI, 12.9-93.0) healed faster than VHW in those who underwent tibial artery bypass (132 days, 95% CI, 48.0-93.0), P = 0.02. Risk factors and the preoperative or postoperative ABIs or STPs had no effect on VHW healing time. CONCLUSIONS:VHW healing was remarkably slower after revascularization surgery in patients with an ischemic foot ulcer than in those without ischemic ulcers.
