Review of an Article: Outcome of infrainguinal single-segment great saphenous vein bypass for critical limb ischemia is superior to alternative autologous vein bypass, especially in patients with high operative risk

The investigators' aim in this study was to assess results of other autologous vein graft types compared with single segment great saphenous vein (ssGSV) graft, and to determine the rate and type of patency maintenance procedures for patients having infrainguinal bypass grafting owing to critic...

Summary:The investigators' aim in this study was to assess results of other autologous vein graft types compared with single segment great saphenous vein (ssGSV) graft, and to determine the rate and type of patency maintenance procedures for patients having infrainguinal bypass grafting owing to critical limb ischemia (CLI). Risk factors for vein graft stenosis and graft failure were explored to identify those grafts that would most benefit from duplex surveillance. Outcome of patients with high operative risk undergoing infrainguinal alternative autologous vein bypass for CLI were also evaluated. [Copyright Elsevier B.V.]
