Effect of adjunct femoral endarterectomy in lower extremity bypass on perioperative and 1-year outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Isolated common femoral endarterectomy was recently reported to have a 30-day mortality of 3.4%. The effect of adjunctive femoral endarterectomy at the time of lower extremity bypass is not well described, and therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine its associated perioperative and long-term risk.

Methods

Vascular Study Group of New England registry data were used to identify patients undergoing initial lower extremity bypass from 2003 to 2015. After univariate analysis, multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the independent association of endarterectomy with adverse perioperative events. Kaplan-Meier and Cox hazard models were used for the 1-year analysis.

Results

After exclusions, 4496 patients were identified as undergoing i
