Intercondylar Route of Prosthetic Infragenicular Femoropopliteal Bypass Has Better Primary, Assisted, and Secondary Patency but Not Limb Salvage Rate Compared to the Medial Route

Figure 2

Kaplan-Meier plots of midterm primary, assisted, and secondary patency, limb salvage rates, and survival in patients with a distal prosthetic femoropopliteal bypass show that although femoropopliteal bypass in patients with an intercondylar course (group A) has better primary, assisted, and secondary patency rates compared to medial route (group B), the limb salvage rate and survival are similar.
