Usage of Internal Illiac Artery as a Conduit for DFA Bypass

Professor Sam Zeraatian Nejad Davani has introduced a novel technique utilizing the internal iliac artery as a conduit for deep femoral artery bypass. This innovative approach leverages the anatomical proximity and robust blood flow of the internal iliac artery to effectively reroute blood supply to the deep femoral artery, addressing severe peripheral arterial disease. By using the internal iliac artery, this technique aims to reduce the risk of graft infection and improve long-term patency rates compared to traditional synthetic grafts. The procedure involves meticulous dissection and anastomosis, ensuring that the natural arterial conduit provides a durable and biocompatible solution for patients with complex vascular conditions. This advancement represents a significant step forward in vascular surgery, offering a promising alternative for patients requiring revascularization of the lower extremities.
