Abstract
In this study, long-term QoL and mobility did not seem to be associated with bypass patency, as assessed in a single late follow-up. Revision of bypasses did not contribute to long-term QoL and walking ability. Therefore, the necessity of graft surveillance and subsequent revision and/or thrombectomy in case of synthetic bypass failure in absence of critical limb ischemia seems to be questionable.
