Although balloon angioplasty for the management of failing bypass grafts has been well documented, little mention has been made of its use in treating the occlusive lesion within the native artery after a failed bypass graft. We report our experience with five patients in whom successful balloon angioplasty was carried out subsequent to failure of a femoral popliteal bypass graft. Increasingly aggressive percutaneous therapy of arterial occlusive disease may now be expanded to include a unique group of patients with chronically failed bypass grafts and occlusive disease within the native artery conducive to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. This group of patients would previously have been relegated to repeat bypass grafts with its inherently inferior patency and recognized added technical demands. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty appears to be a plausible alternative in selected cases for repeat lower extremity revascularization.
