To assess the efficacy and safety of reconstructive treatment for lower extremity vascular injuries using parallel connection vessel grafts from autogenous veins.
Approach:
Data Analysis: Clinical and follow-up data were analyzed to compare thrombosis rate, amputation rate, and anastomosis time between the two groups.
Key Findings:
The parallel connection method had a significantly lower thrombosis rate in arterial reconstruction (5.88% vs. 53.85%) and venous reconstruction (7.69% vs. 57.14%) compared to direct autogenous vein grafting.
The amputation rate was 0% in the parallel connection group versus 38.46% in the direct autogenous vein graft group.
The procedure time was longer for the parallel connection method compared to direct autogenous vein grafting.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
Retrospective design.
Small sample size.
Potential selection bias.
Conclusion:
Larger prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.
