| Popis: | Autologous vein is preferable for use in lower limb arterial bypass rather than synthetic graft material. Suitable vein for grafting is often limited, particularly in patients who have had previous cardiac bypass grafting or varicose veins surgery. This case report describes the use of arteriovenous fistula formation to cultivate an arm vein of a suitable diameter for use in femorotibial bypassing. |
