Objectives: Distal bypass surgery’s effect on tissue blood pressure beyond a focal angiosome remains debated. This study assessed tissue blood pressure in both direct revascularized angiosome (DRA) and indirect revascularized angiosome (IRA) after bypass surgery, utilizing repeated skin perfusion pressure (SPP) measurements.
Methods: Twenty-nine limbs in 27 chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients (22 males and five females, age: 70.2 ± 9.3 years) who received distal bypass surgery were enrolled. SPP measurements were conducted for the DRA and IRA at 10 time intervals, encompassing both preoperative and postoperative periods of every 3–5 days until 30 days.
Results: In total, 486 SPP measurements were collected from 58 measurement sites, and the transition of the SPP at the DRA was 35.4–62.5–59.5–70.2–58.2–62.2–63.1–63.6–63.8–73.4 mmHg and IRA was 29.4–53.4–53.7–58.8–51.3–63.1–47.9–62.1–57.6–61.0 mmHg. No significant differences were observed between SPP at the DRA and IRA. Fifteen wounds on the DRA (63%) and five on the IRA (100%) healed.
Conclusion: Distal bypass improves SPP in both direct and IRAs of CLTI patients. These data indicated distal bypass improves tissue blood flow at entire foot regardless of angiosomes.
