Envenoming from snake bite is an important medical condition, frequently encountered at the emergency department of BPKIHS hospital (Dharan, Nepal). This is a retrospective study of 52 cases of suspected snake bite who presented at the department from August 1993 to November 1994. Analysis of the data showed that snake bite was more frequent between the ages of 11 to 20 years (36.7%) and 2.5 times more common in males. Fifty-seven per cent of the bites occurred between 1600 h and midnight with highest incidence (51%) occurring during the monsoon (August–October). Twenty per cent of the patients were able to identify the snake species as venomous and 90% of them presented to the hospital within 3 h of being bitten. Sixty per cent of the bites were in the lower limb. Neurotoxicity due to envenoming was recorded in nine patients (17%). No case of coagulopathy was recorded. The overall case fatality was 3.8% but mortality amongst those exhibiting signs of neurotoxicity was 22%.

Single Center Experience

The deep femoral artery (DFA) offers several advantages as an inflow vessel in lower-extremity bypasses. We report a single-center experience using the DFA as an inflow artery for lower-extremity revascularization. We reviewed all patients who underwent a lower-extremity bypass utilizing the DFA as the inflow vessel. Demographics, indications for surgery, indication for use of the DFA, type of conduits and target vessels were recorded. Follow-up data included resolution of symptoms, bypass graft patency, major amputations and survival. Over 2.5 years, 23 patients were treated with a DFA-inflow bypass. Eighteen (78%) suffered from wounds and five (22%) from rest pain. The proximal, middle and distal DFA was used in 8, 14 and 1 patients, respectively. Indications for using the DFA were limited vein conduit (16) and a hostile groin (5). All patients experienced initial resolution of their ischemic symptoms. The primary patency at two years was 93%. The survival rate was 83%. In conclusion, the DFA is an excellent and underutilized alternative inflow artery in patients requiring lower limb revascularization. It offers excellent patency rates and should be considered in patients with hostile groins or insufficient lengths of a vein conduit.
