Robot-assisted iliofemoral bypass surgery in a patient with atherosclerosis of the low extremities arteries (clinical observation)
Abstract
The first case of successful robot-assisted iliofemoral bypass surgery is presented in middleaged patients with atherosclerosis of the lower extremities arteries; according to CT-picture of stenosis up to 80% AIE (arteria iliaca externa) on the right, occlusion of the right in the upper and middle 1/3, occlusion of the left internal iliac artery, stenosis and minor occlusion of AFS (arteria femoral superficial). On October 10, 2019 iliofemoral bypass surgery was performed by using the DaVinci robotic system.
After 6 days of surgery on the control CT-picture of the lower extremities arteries with 3D reconstructions was right functioning iliofemoral bypass. This clinical case demonstrates the effectiveness and safety, as well as the possibility of performing robot-assisted operations in vascular surgery.
