Sorry to say this Ken, but I think it is time to cut your loses (no pun
intended), and look to amputation.  The expression "life over limb"
comes to mind, and I have thought all along, from what you described,
that the limb in question was going to be lost, I just wasn't sure
when.

On the cases I presented last week, one developed an arterial sentinel 

bleeding episode during dressing change, which became torential the
next  day.   
Arteriogram revealed a site at the proximal suture line,  STENTED with

endovascular stent which stopped the bleeding.  TWO days later  the
same thing happened 
to the distal suture line and again a stent stopped the  bleeding.  NO

further bleeding, but groin is still a mess and not ready for  an extra
anatomic 
bypass.  
 
What can we expect???
