The rGEA can be considered as a valid arterial conduit, relatively easy to harvest, safe to use with low perioperative risks, and good mid- and long-term results. The low early and late rate mortality and the satisfactory clinical results are good reasons for using routinely this conduit in selected patients.

In the absence of suitable ASV, DSVH appears to be an interesting alternative for arterial repair in limbs in civilian vascular injuries.
