Abstract: These results indicate that a PTFE bypass to an infrapopliteal artery remains a worthwhile option in patients without usable autologous vein. The secondary patency and limb salvage rates were acceptable in this setting and were not significantly different from the best results reported with prosthetic tibial/peroneal bypasses with distal vein cuffs or patches (74% at 1 year; 58% at 3 years), arteriovenous fistulas (71% at 1 year) or composite arm vein grafts (39% and 29% at 3 and 5 years, respectively).

“…Although having the potential advantage of a more expeditious and less invasive procedure, infrainguinal prosthetic bypasses extended to below-knee (BK) targets have had disappointing patency rates of 12% to 40% at 3 to 5 years. [5][6][7] Numerous adjuncts have been suggested to improve patency and potential limb salvage rates for infrainguinal polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bypass. The addition of a venous cuff or patch to the distal anastomotic region of lower limb PTFE bypasses has modestly improved graft patency rates in numerous series.…”

“…When vein cuffs were first described, evidence for their efficacy was based on retrospective case series3, 31–33. After publication of the JVRG trial many surgeons adopted cuffed PTFE grafts for below‐knee popliteal and distal anastomoses as standard practice.…”

“…Intimal hyperplasia is defined as the abnormal migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells with associated deposition of extracellular matrix in the intimal layer of the vein graft [17][18][19][20]. The pathophysiological triggers for intimal hyperplasia have been classified as injury, inflammation, and haemodynamic factors [21,22].…”
