Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Thoracofemoral bypass surgery for occlusion of aortofemoral segment is a variant of choice for treatment of patients with impossibility of performing traditional aortofemoral bypass. The use of robot-assisted technologies in the formation of a proximal anastomosis permits to reduce the trauma of surgical access and to improve the results of surgical intervention. The article reports a case of a patient with occlusion of the aorto-iliac segment and total calcification of the infrarenal aorta, who underwent robot-assisted thoracofemoral bifurcation bypass surgery.
CONCLUSION: Use of modern technologies in the vascular surgery permits to reduce traumatization, minimize the effect of the human factor, improve visualization and freedom of movement and shorten the recovery period and the period of hospital stay.
