Summary:A 58-year-old man with diabetes mellitus was diagnosed acute arterial thrombosis of right leg and had been treated with anticoagulants. Gradually skin ulcer of the right leg had been developed, thus, we were consulted and performed distal bypass with endoscopic vein harvesting system. His postoperative course was uneventful and now skin ulcer was completely healed. After bypass surgery for the patients of critical limb ischemia, shortening incision may benefits by reduction of wound complication and infection. We report a successful surgical case of distal bypass with endoscopic harvesting for critical limb ischemia.
