Clinical Challenge: When a saphenous vein is not available

Situation

- Patient has lower limb ischaemia
- A viable saphenous vein is not available

Challenge

  • No synthetic prosthesis can match the performance or handling of vein
    • Lower long-term patency, particularly for below-knee revascularisation
    • More susceptible to infection
    • Susceptible to suture hole bleeding
    • Cuffs or jump grafts may be required

Solution

Omniflow II – the biosynthetic vascular prosthesis for lower limb revascularisation
Patency rates with Omniflow in below-knee settings are statistically better than PTFE
