Fig. 1 Classification of flow waveforms. Type 0: a steep acceleration in systole followed by a steep deceleration in diastole with a reverse flow in the last of diastole; type I: a steep acceleration and deceleration with no reverse flow wave in diastole; and type II: a deceleration characterized by a gentle sloping at the last half of diastole.

Fig. 3 Cumulative patency rate by life-table method for PTFE femoropopliteal grafts in patients with good (N = 16) (open circles) or poor (N = 22) (closed circles) distal runoff, according to angiographic assessment. The number with each time point indicates number of grafts observed to be patent for that length of time.

Fig. 4 Cumulative patency rate by life-table method for PTFE grafts with flow waveform of type 0 or I (N = 22) (open circles) or type II (N = 16) (closed circles) in reconstructed arteries. The number with each time point indicates number of grafts observed to be patent for that length of time.

Fig. 5 Cumulative patency rate by life-table method for femoropopliteal grafts with PTFE alone (N = 26) (closed circles) or PTFE/vein composite grafts (N = 12) (open circles). The number with each time point indicates number of grafts observed to be patent for that length of time.

Fig. 6 Cumulative patency rate by life-table method for femoropopliteal with type II flow waveform according to PTFE alone (N = 10) (closed circles) or PTFE/vein composite grafts (N = 6) (open cirles). The number with each time point indicates number of grafts observed to be patent for that length of time.
