What Causes Thrombosis In The Leg After A Femoral Popliteal Bypass Surgery?
A US-color-Doppler is needed:
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your concern carefully.
The fact that the ulcers are healed after the aorta femoral bypass, is an indicator that the grafts have been working well.
Thrombosis is the most frequent late complication of surgical procedures in the aorto femoral area. In the presence of aorta bifemoral bypass, graft limb occlusion generally occurs within the first two years, that is why you need to be under close monitoring during this period.
I would recommend, continuous wave Doppler examination or UltraSound-color-Doppler scan in order to assess the permeability of the graft and exclude any thrombosis.
If the permeability is okay, probably an exaggerated physical activity is the cause of the symptoms you mentioned.
Hope I have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
