Simultaneous femoro-popliteal artery bypass and foot free flap for lower limb salvage: a 13-year follow-up.

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) associated with lower extremity complex wounds is challenging for vascular and plastic surgeons. Despite a high risk of perioperative morbidity, complex reconstructive surgery in these patients is an alternative to primary major limb amputation. We present a patient with CLI and a complex foot wound treated with simultaneous femoro-popliteal arterial bypass and free flap for lower limb salvage. The 13-year follow-up showed good functional results.
