Abstract
The arterial sling operation is safe and the one year patency rate is high. Although one or two segments of the arterial sling may degenerate due to competitive blood flow, this does not affect blood flow in the vascular bed in patients without disease progression. However, arterial revascularization should be performed in a way to minimize competitive flow.
