TCT-361 Heart Team Approach to CAD Management in Patients Undergoing Elective Vascular Surgery Who Have Asymptomatic Ischemia-producing Coronary Stenosis
Patients undergoing peripheral vascular surgery (PVS) are at increased risk of post-op MI/death due to unrecognized CAD. Coronary CTA-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) reliably identifies lesion-specific ischemia (LSI) in stable chest pain patients but has not been used in PVS patients. We

The DETOUR procedure: no more need for conventional bypass surgery?
Background Long segment occlusive disease in the superficial femoral artery remains a treatment challenge despite advances in open surgical and endovascular approaches. We report initial clinical results of an entirely new procedure to perform percutaneous femoro-popliteal bypass using the DETOUR System.
