Comparison of Endovascular Versus Bypass Surgery in Femoropopliteal TASC II D Lesions: A Single-Center Study

In patients with severe femoropopliteal occlusive disease (TASC II D), the surgical revascularization by means of Propaten-Gore bypass + Linton patch can be considered safe and effective. Early and midterm results of this approach seem to be superior to PTA ± BMS in terms of restenosis/occlusion and reintervention rates. Larger cohort and longer term results are mandatory to better define this advantage.
