View Article and Find Full Text PDFContext: Reports of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bypass grafting to the infrapopliteal arteries have often used survival analysis of acceptable quality to describe a wide range of long-term results. In theory, these results may be combined if variability between series and time intervals is considered.
Objective: Meta-analysis was performed to gain insight into long-term graft patency and foot preservation after PTFE bypass grafting to infrapopliteal arteries.
