AbstractBackground: Femoropopliteal bypass is the commonest procedure for lower limb revascularization. The aim of the present study was to determine the long-term outcomes of femoropopliteal bypass and evaluate the prognostic significance of various clinical factors on the long-term results. Methods: From 1976 to 1998, 349 consecutive primary femoropopliteal bypass operations were performed on 314 patients at the University of Hong Kong Medical Centre. Indications for operation included claudication (n = 85) and limb-threatening ischaemia (n = 264). Univariate and multivariate analyses of 14 clinical variables were undertaken to identify significant prognostic factors affecting the graft patency, limb salvage and patient survival rates. Results: The overall primary patency rates of femoropopliteal bypass were 88%, 79% and 76% at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. Type of graft material and age of patient were independent prognostic factors of graft patency. The cumulative limb salvage rates were 90%, 86% and 86% at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. No clinical factor was found to be predictive of ultimate limb loss. The overall survival rates were 89%, 85% and 78% at 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. Coronary artery disease was the main cause of late death. Gender and indication for operation were the significant predictive factors of long-term survival. Conclusions: Femoropopliteal bypass using reversed long saphenous vein provided the most durable long-term patency. Autologous saphenous vein should be the choice of vascular conduit if available. Male gender and limb-threatening ischaemia were associated with a poor survival.
