2 Fig. 1 Technique of retrograde in situ arm vein inspection. Small incision to exposes distal forearm cephalic vein. Angioscope is inserted through irrigation sheath and systematic inspection of upper arm cephalic and basilic and forearm cephalic veins is performed. All segmental intraluminal disease is noted and vein harvest is planned accordingly.

3 Fig. 2 Incidence and distribution of segmental disease detected with angioscopic preparation and monitoring of 113 arm veins harvested for infrainguinal bypass conduits.

4 Fig. 3 Comparison of primary graft patency for 109 infrainguinal arm vein bypass grafts as determined by life tables with comparisons of “normal” versus “upgraded” versus “inferor” quality arm vein grafts.
