Abstract

This investigation was designed to retrospectively review the results of autogenous vein grafts used for extremity arterial injuries. The mean value of the wall shear stress during a cardiac cycle was calculated by blood flow waveform analysis. The records of 103 patients with 106 arterial injuries repaired with autogenous vein grafts were reviewed. One hundred and two (96.2%) were patent in the early postoperative period. The mean length of follow-up was 6 years and 5 months (range 1–23 years). Fifty-one patients were followed beyond 1 year.
