Abstract

Fourteen patients underwent femoral-below the knee bypass grafting with the bovine heterograft with an initial patency rate of 64 per cent. If reopened grafts are included, the patency rate is 61 per cent. Therefore, it appears that the bovine graft is an excellent alternative when suitable saphenous vein is not available for below the knee grafts.
