title: [Initial experience with angioscopy in infrainguinal reconstruction using the in situ saphenous vein technique].
abstract: The authors report on their experience with lower limb revascularization using the in-situ saphenous vein bypass grafting in four patients with angioscopically assisted valvulotomy. They describe the surgical technique employed and outcome of the procedure. The discussion section examines the pros and cons of the technique of in-situ saphenous vein bypass with angioscopically assisted valvulotomy (ISB + AV) compared with the standard technique of reversed bypass (RVB).
