Abstract
Recently diagnosed or exacerbated CHF does not affect acute IIB graft patency. However, CHF may increase the complication rates for perioperative pneumonia, prolonged intubation, reintubation, sepsis, return to the operating room, extended length of stay, and mortality. Therefore, before pursuing lower extremity interventions in patients with a history of CHF, one should incorporate an individualized approach to optimize the success of the revascularization while minimizing medical comorbidities.
