Background: In patients requiring infrageniculate surgical revascularization a single-segment great saphenous vein (SS-GSV) is the optimal conduit. In the absence of a SS-GSV, the small saphenous vein and arm veins can also be used to obtain an all-autologous bypass. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term results of infrageniculate SS-GSV bypasses and spliced vein bypasses in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Methods: Between September 2004 and August 2015, 140 patients (mean age 70.9±7.
Objective: To describe the patency of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of autologous infrainguinal bypasses at risk.
Methods: This was a retrospective single-center cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent primary PTA of an infrainguinal autologous bypass at risk from January 2009 to December 2013. Duplex ultrasound surveillance was performed for at least 1 year after PTA.
