Abstract

Introduction - Vein is regarded superior to artificial graft in peripheral arterial bypass surgery. However, often this option is limited due to previous bypass, stripping, or poor quality of the ipsilateral greater saphenous vein (GSV). In this case the contralateral GSV or arm veins are preferred alternative vein grafts. The lesser saphenous vein (LSV) is a forgotten, but attractive alternative. There are only limited reports on the use of LSV as a bypass conduit available. We report our experience using LSV as part of an all autologous vein bypass policy.
