Fig. 1 Completion arteriogram after in situ femoral—distal anterior tibial artery bypass graft in a diabetic patient threatened with limb loss because of ulceration of the heel and great toc. Note extensive network of patent small arteries in the foot, although the proximal tibial arteries were occluded.
