Transposition angioplasty: a technique for the correction of proximal anastomotic neointimal hyperplasia in femoral distal bypasses.
Neointimal hyperplasia at the proximal anastomosis of a femorodistal bypass can be managed by dividing the autogenous vein graft and transposing the proximal anastomosis from the common femoral to the deep femoral artery. The method obviates repeat dissection of the graft and femoral arteries in the groin.
