Abstract

Inadequate vein quality or prior harvest precludes the use of autologous single-segment great saphenous vein (ssGSV) in many patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). How the clinical characteristics and the use of alternative (non–ssGSV) conduits relate to patient outcomes after infrainguinal bypass is not well understood. We hypothesized that the limb presentation, bypass target, and conduit type would be associated with amputation-free survival (AFS) after infrainguinal bypass using alternative conduits.
