Can concomitant above-knee femoropopliteal bypass with artificial graft affect the outcome of femorofemoral bypass with artificial graft?

A concomitant FEM-POP bypass influenced the outcome of FEM-FEM bypass surgery. In conclusion, compromised infra-inguinal runoff at either extremity requiring concomitant FEM-POP bypass significantly worsens long-term FEM-FEM bypass patency. In addition, a concomitant bilateral FEM-POP bypass is a risk factor affecting the limb salvage rate in FEM-FEM bypass.
