Investigation of center-specific saphenous vein utilization rates in femoral popliteal artery bypass and associated impact of conduit on outcomes

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate variation in great saphenous vein (GSV) use among the various centers participating in the Vascular Quality Initiative infrainguinal bypass modules. Further, differences in outcomes in femoral-popliteal artery bypass with single segment GSV conduit vs prosthetic conduit will be documented. Center GSV use rate impact on outcomes will be investigated.
