Fig. 1 Intraarterial digital subtraction angiogram of proximal tibial and foot circulation in patient undergoing dorsalis pedis bypass. Below-knee popliteal, anterior tibial, and posterior tibial arteries are occluded. Peroneal artery reconstitutes distal to tibioperoneal trunk, which is occluded (left panel). Dorsalis pedis artery is widely patent (left panel) and fills part of metatarsal arch. Plantar arteries are occluded.

Fig. 5 Life-table analysis of patency of 147 in situ saphenous vein grafts and 177 translocated reversed or nonreversed saphenous vein grafts (all ipsilateral saphenous vein). There is no significant difference noted at 5 years (p = 0.28).
