Abstract :	[en] Severe limb ischemia is a common problem encountered in medical practice. Aggressive attempts at revascularization have extended the limits of limb salvage. However, in certain cases, extended tissue loss compromises the healing process. It often results in amputation despite bypass graft patency. Microvascular free tissue transfer combined with arterial revascularization allows healing of these wounds and limb preservation. This combined approach is the ultimate alternative to amputation.
