EXTRA CREDIT - PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: 1. Left leg clаudicаtiоn. 2. Left superficiаl femоral artery оcclusion and femoropopliteal occlusive disease. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: 1. Left leg claudication. 2. Left superficial femoral artery occlusion and femoropopliteal occlusive disease. PROCEDURE PERFORMED: A left femoropopliteal bypass (above knee 8-mm PTFE graft with a distal cuff). The patient was brought to the operating room. General anesthesia was given. The left leg was prepped and draped in the usual manner. A vertical incision was made in the groin and the common femoral profunda and superficial femoral arteries were dissected. The femoral artery appeared to be fairly calcified on the back. It was soft on the front. However, close to the inguinal ligament after the inguinal ligament was lifted off basically the external iliac artery was found to be fairly smooth in all directions and appeared to be good place to clamp the artery. The popliteal artery was isolated above the knee through a medial incision in the thigh. Deep fascia was opened. Popliteal fossa was entered. Artery was dissected free of its adjoining veins and was encircled in vessel loops and a tunnel was made. The patient was heparinized, after which the popliteal artery was isolated between clamps and opened longitudinally. Although it had arteriosclerosis and irregular plaque inside, in general it appeared to be open. Anastomosis between the cuff of the graft and the artery was carried out with 6–0 Prolene. The graft was then pulled through the tunnel into the groin. The external iliac artery and two profunda arteries were clamped. A longitudinal incision was made in the common femoral artery. It appeared that on the back of the artery there was a popcorn-type of calcification extending into the lumen of the artery. This popcorn calcification was removed by a limited endarterectomy and after the artery had been smoothed out on the inside, the area was thoroughly irrigated. The arteries were allowed to bleed forwards and backward, after which the graft was cut at an angle and sutured here as a proximal anastomosis, as well, a patch over the artery anastomosis was made with 6-0 Prolene. Air was evacuated and the clamps were released to allow the blood to flow down into the leg. Palpation showed a strong posterior tibial pulse and faint dorsalis pedis. These were palpable by hand. The patient was given protamine. Hemostasis was secured. Irrigation was done and closure was carried out. Vicryl was used for deeper tissues. Skin was closed with surgical clips. Dressings were done. Blood loss was minimal. No transfusion was given. ICD-10-PCS code(s):
