Risk Analysis Index Compared With Modified Frailty Index for Lower Extremity Amputation

Abstract

surgical site infection, and lymphatic complication are noted in the table below. Primary graft patency at 3 years was 83% 6 4% (aorto-iliac), 83% 6 6% (peripheral), 100% (mesenteric), and 23% 6 19% (dialysis access; P < .001).Conclusions: Although the use of FPV has significant morbidity related to both vein harvest and systemic complications, FPV is useful, almost universally available, and durable. In the era of endovascular focus, FPV should not be forgotten as a potential conduit that can be used for a variety of vascular reconstruction needs.
