Abstract
As part of a study of the effects of various clinical, pathological and hemodynamic factors on short- and long-term patency of autogenous reversed saphenous vein femoropopliteal bypass grafts, an early and recent series of patients is compared with 4 other index series. Review and comparison reveals a well-recognized pattern of graft failure that occurs in 3 definable periods. The closure rate differs between periods and among series and allows a delineation of the responsible factors. Improvement in long-term cumulative patency rates depends on an understanding of the factors responsible for vein graft failure and the methods for their elimination or control.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
