Early experience with cryopreserved saphenous vein allografts as a conduit for complex limb-salvage procedures.
J Vasc Surg. 1993; (4): 561-8; discussion 568-9
The lack of a suitable alternative to autogenous vein is often the limiting factor for complex lower extremity vascular reconstruction, especially when previously placed grafts have failed. Cryopreserved saphenous vein allografts have been used as an alternative conduit. This report reviews our early experience with this conduit in a series of complex redo revascularization procedures for limb salvage when no suitable autogenous vein was available.
