The results obtained by placing reversed autogenous saphenous vein bypass grafts in either isolated popliteal artery segments or tibial vessels distal to the popliteal artery segments or tibial vessels distal to the popliteal artery are compared. Fifty-five patients with arteriosclerotic peripheral vascular disease who were threatened with limb loss were followed up from six months to nine years prior to this report. The success rate at one year was 94 per cent for the isolated popliteal segment grafts and 73 per cent for the tibial vessel grafts. The success rate after four years was 70 per cent for the isolated popliteal segment grafts and 63 per cent for the tibial vessel grafts. The clinical factors associated with the success of isolated popliteal segment bypass grafts and the factors apparently associated with failure of vein grafts in both of these groups with very poor distal arterial outflow are discussed. Our results suggest that either an isolated popliteal artery segment graft or a tibial vessel graft is a satisfactory means of treating these patients; however, a graft to an isolated popliteal segment is probably preferable to a graft to a tibial artery.
