AB  - During femorodistal bypass angioscopy can be used in vein graft preparation allowing valve lysis and the identification of tributaries under direct vision. A total of 30 patients have undergone angioscopic assisted femorodistal bypass using either an Olympus or Stortz system. Nineteen patients have undergone full vein mobilisation and valve lysis under direct vision. Eleven patients had in situ bypass with ligation of tributaries, identified by the angioscope, through small stab incisions. No evidence of fistula or retained valve cusps was found by subsequent duplex scanning and arteriography. One of these grafts failed at 6 days due to an unrecognised outflow stenosis. The mean hospital stay after operation for this latter group of patients was 5.2 days (range 4.4-6.0 days) compared with 9.5 days (8.6-10.3 days) in a historical group of 30 patients (P < 0.001). Angioscopy is a useful aid in the performance of femorodistal bypass. Early experience suggests that hospital stay may be reduced by angioscope assisted in situ femorodistal bypass because of the minimal dissection involved.
