CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary intraprocedural outcomes of LIMBSAVE registry showed that HYDRO LeMaitre® Valvulotome was safe and effective in disrupting the valves and obtaining the pulsatility of the saphenous vein. The rate of complications related to the utilization of the valvulotome was low. Further examinations are needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of the bypass in terms of patency, reinterventions, and limb salvage. PMID: 31345009 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
