One hundred and twenty nine in situ vein bypasses have been reviewed with a five year follow-up. Cumulative patency rates at five year are 71% (+/- 21%) for above-knee femoro-popliteal bypasses, 69% (+/- 11.5%) for below-knee anastomosis and 94% (+/- 35%) when distal anastomosis is performed on tibial or peroneal vessel. Global cumulative graft patency rate is 71% (+/- 9.4%). It is 72% (+/- 11%) in limb salvage.
