From 1967 to 1982, 305 femoral tibial bypasses were performed. Of these 180 (59%) were performed on limb salvage indication. A reversed autogenous saphenous vein was used in 134 instances, among 46 vein substitutes there were 15 vein allografts, 13 human umbilical cord vein grafts, 12 PTFE grafts and six dacron grafts. Hospital mortality was six patients. An additional 37 patients died during the follow-up period. The patency rates for saphenous vein bypass grafts were 62.5%, 48%, and 25% at one, five, and ten years, respectively, and 33% and 25% at one and five years, respectively, for the vascular substitutes. The mean +/- SD follow-up time was 62.27 +/- 5.7 months. During the early postoperative period 23 legs (12.7%) had to be amputated. During the follow-up period an additional 14 legs (7.8%) were lost giving a limb salvage rate of 79.5%.
