Extension of the Taylor patch concept to infrainguinal sequential arterial bypass.
Infra-inguinal bypass to popliteal and tibial vessels for limb salvage is a well established procedure with excellent results when saphenous vein is used as a conduit for the bypass. Infra-popliteal bypass, using a prosthetic conduit, is generally accompanied by poor results Taylor et al. recently obtained impressive results using PTFE as a conduit and a vein patch at the distal anastomosis. Extension of the Taylor patch concept to infrainguinal sequential arterial bypass in case report form is presented.
