  • Title: Retaining a nonfunctional synthetic arterial bypass graft as a tunnel for future bypass using a vein graft: technical note.
    Author: Durai R, Hoque H, Raudonaitis A.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2010 Jan; 24(1):149-50. PubMed ID: 19619978.
    Abstract:
    Reoperation after infrainguinal arterial bypass may be difficult because of scar tissue from the previous bypass operation and usually involves removal of the old synthetic bypass graft. The authors describe a novel method of retaining the old thrombosed, externally reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene graft and using it as a tunnel for redo bypass using a vein.
