Lower and Upper Limb Bypass Surgery

Bypass Surgery in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

Perivascular bypasses, also known as lower extremity bypasses, are minimally invasive surgical procedures that reroute blood flow around a blocked artery by making small incisions of 2-4 inches in length. In this procedure, the doctor uses a synthetic graft (plastic tube) or your vein to create a new pathway for blood flow.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) typically causes an obstructed blood vessel. Atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque on artery walls, leads to PAD. This blockage restricts the blood flow to the lower extremities. The lack of oxygen and nutrition causes cells and tissues in the legs and feet to die. In the worst cases, gangrene in the limbs can lead to amputation and infection in the body. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Peripheral vascular bypasses bypass a peripheral artery and reroute blood into a different route. 

Preparation for the procedure

Your doctor explains the procedure in detail before, during, and after it. In addition, they recommend the following:

Consult your doctor about the following:

  • Medications, herbal products, and dietary supplements.

  • Iodine, latex, tape, and anaesthetic allergies

  • Bleeding disorders in the past

Pre-procedure expectations

Your doctor may perform the following tests before the procedure:

Procedures and diagnostic tests

  • An ultrasound

  • Analyses of blood

  • The angiogram

  • CT scan (Computerised Tomography)

  • MRI (MagneticComputerisedmaging)

During the procedure

Peripheral bypass surgery takes three to four hours to complete, but preparation and recovery can add additional time. The doctors will perform this procedure in the operating room. Make sure you discuss the details of your system with your doctor. Generally:

  • The nurse will put a hospital gown on you.

  • The nurse can administer medications, fluids, and a sedative through an IV line in your arm.

  • The doctor will give anaesthesia before the procedure. After sedation, the doctor will insert a breathing tube into your lungs through your throat. During surgery, this will breathe for you. Visit our vascular surgery hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

  • Instead of general anaesthesia, your doctor may recommend regional anaesthesia. The doctor will give anaesthesia in the epidural area to numb the operation area. During general anaesthesia, you will feel sleepy, and the doctor will determine the anaesthesia type.

  • The procedure begins as soon as your doctor makes the incisions on your leg. Bypassing different sections of arteries requires various incision sites.

  • Bypassing the diseased artery will either be performed with an artificial graft or a vein taken from the leg.

  • After identifying the graft, a doctor will perform the grafting of the diseased artery.

  • It is possible to perform an arteriogram (type of x-ray) to determine if blood is flowing through the graft properly.

  • After the procedure, the doctor uses a closure device or sutures to close your incision.

After the procedure

After the procedure, they will move you to the recovery room in case of ICU. You can go home within 2 to 4 days after this procedure. Among the other recommendations are the following:

General guidelines are,

  • During the procedure, your nurse will monitor your insertion site, vital signs, circulation, movement, and sensations in the affected leg or arm.

  • After the procedure, the incision may have some tenderness or soreness.

  • Follow your doctor's recommendations regarding pain relievers.

  • The doctor may control your blood pressure and bleeding problems with particular IV medicines.

  • It will depend on your ability to walk around when it is time to get out of bed.

  • During your recovery, you will receive instructions from your doctor.
