  • Title: In situ saphenous vein bypass grafts: angiographic evaluation and interventional repair of complications.
    Author: Kinnison ML, Perler BA, Kaufman SL, Mitchell SE, Kadir S, Williams GM, White RI.
    Journal: Radiology; 1986 Sep; 160(3):727-30. PubMed ID: 3737910.
    Abstract:
    In situ saphenous vein grafts are being used with increasing frequency for bypass procedures involving the femoral and popliteal arteries. Complications of these procedures include anastomotic stenoses and persistent arteriovenous fistulae that may result in failure of the graft. Balloon angioplasty and embolotherapy with detachable balloons were employed successfully in three or four recent cases of patients with complications from in situ grafts. Tailored angiography is essential for evaluating in situ grafts, and interventional techniques are extremely useful for managing complications.
