Successful Total Robotic-Assisted Aortobifemoral Bypass for Treatment of Complicated Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease

摘要

Laparoscopic aortobifemoral bypass (AFB) for aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is a durable, minimally invasive procedure with comparable long-term outcomes to conventional open AFB. However, laparoscopic AFB requires advance training in laparoscopy with prolong learning curve to accomplish infrarenal aortic dissection and vascular reconstruction to minimize aortic clamp time and leg ischemia time. We describe another minimally invasive technique of total robotic-assisted AFB for extensive, complicated AIOD in 3 patients who are not endovascular candidate or have failed endoluminal approach previously.
