Which is the most common material used for grafting below inguinal aeries?
Correct Answer: Saphenous vein graft (upside - down)
Description: For blockage fuher down the leg either a femoral popliteal or femoral distal procedure may be performed. Long saphenous vein is the graft of choice which may be used with its valves destroyed by a special valve cutting instrument or reversed so that the valves do not interfere with the bold flow.
