Abstract

The search for an ideal vascular conduit remains elusive, with the majority of synthetic and biological prostheses having only limited success in clinical practice, depending on the diameter of the arterial replacement. Although there is a reasonable success when used as a large-diameter peripheral vascular replacement (>5–6 mm), depending on the location of the replacement vessel and the status of the patient, there is no successful artificial small-diameter vascular prosthesis. The autogenous saphenous vein (SV) continues to be the most widely used vascular prosthesis for small-caliber vessel reconstruction. The autogenous SV is, however, not available to all patients, because it may be unsuitable or absent. The SV is also itself not the perfect arterial conduit. Evidence of significant deterioration of vein grafts has been reported, with over 30% of autogenous SVs developing serious defects that threaten the long-term function of the graft (1).
