NCT ID NCT00221715
First seen Jun 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 people with severe leg artery disease (including some with diabetes) who needed bypass surgery above the knee. Doctors compared using a man-made tube (Dacron or PTFE) versus the patient's own leg vein to reroute blood flow. The goal was to see which method kept the bypass open longer and saved more legs from amputation over 5 years.
