Abstract
Tertiary patency rate was higher than the secondary patency rate. This result might reflect active limb salvage surgery with satisfactory results. The absence of a gap between tertiary patency and leg salvage rates indicates the importance of a patent infrainguinal bypass graft to save lower limbs of patients with ischemic tissue defects.
