Graft failure and amputation occur in half the patients within 5 years.
If grafting is successful, long-term mortality is improved.
Patency rates of 80% to 90% at 1 year currently are expected.

D. Patency rates of 80% to 90% at 1 year currently are expected.

DISCUSSION: Graft surveillance and repair of acquired defects in the vein before graft thrombosis improve long-term patency rates. Patients who require lower extremity bypass for limb salvage have poor 5-year survival because of concomitant coronary and cerebrovascular disease. Current graft patency rates approach 90% at 1 year.
