Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology
|January 1, 1986
Summary
A rare case of below-knee bypass graft compression by thigh muscles was identified. Prompt surgical correction of this entrapment syndrome preserved graft patency.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Anatomy
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Below-knee saphenous vein bypass grafts are crucial for limb salvage.
- Muscle entrapment of vascular grafts is an uncommon complication.
- Understanding anatomical relationships is key to diagnosing graft compromise.
