This interim analysis suggests that BASI is not an option for CFA occlusion and is only a limited option for CFA stenosis. Clinical and hemodynamic results are comparable for BASI and CFE. An increased rate of redo procedures in the BASI patients outweighs lower surgical site infection rates compared to CFE. Short-term patency rates are significantly worse in patients undergoing CFA stenting with BASI.

Routine DVM should be recommended for infrainguinal bypass surgery. The study found that preoperative DVM significantly avoids unnecessary surgical exploration, development of major SSI, and reduces frequency of readmissions for SSI treatment.

Paclitaxel-coated and plain angioplasty of significant infrainguinal vein bypass stenoses performed equally well in clinical and hemodynamic improvement and in primary and assisted primary bypass patency rates.
