Infrainguinal arterial reconstruction with non-reversed autologous vein after angioscopy guided valvulotomy ex situ [PDF]
Aims:The advantages of in situ autologous vein grafts for long infrainguinal arterial reconstructions are the tapered conduit, minimising size mismatch at proximal and distal anastomoses, and the possibility of using small sized veins with good results ...
