Venous hypertension, severe swelling, and tissue necrosis occurred in a limb previously subjected to distal arterial bypass plus adjunctive arteriovenous fistula. Occlusion of the popliteal vein had not been recognized during the early treatment period. Subsequent to identification of this mechanism, limb salvage was achieved with an interposition graft of the popliteal vein using externally supported PTFE. The prereconstruction venous pressure gradient of 29 cm H2O was virtually abolished immediately after reestablishing venous outflow. The distal arteriovenous fistula, initially established to maintain prosthetic arterial graft patency, now serves, in this case, a dual function by additionally maintaining prosthetic venous graft patency. An intact deep venous system is critical for achieving successful arterial reconstruction and to avoid the complications associated with an occluded outflow tract in the face of augmented inflow.
