Distal vein adjuncts are associated with improved freedom from occlusion, amputation, major adverse limb events, and overall survival when compared to bypasses performed with prosthetic graft alone for tibial bypasses within the Vascular Quality Initiative. A vein adjunct was not associated with improved freedom from occlusion in below-knee popliteal bypasses. Consideration should be given to utilization of a distal vein adjunct to improve prosthetic bypass longevity and limb salvage for patients requiring tibial bypasses.
