Conditions

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) requiring bypass surgery for adequate blood supply to the distal leg/foot, with autologous material (GSV).

Interventions

18 patients will be included in this study. Three separate arms with each six harvested veins are required. The veins in each separate group are harvested with one of the previously mentioned techniqu

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Patients requiring supragenual or infragenual bypass surgery for sufficient blood supply to the distal leg. - A circumference of >3mm of the GSV of the affected leg. - Harvesting the GSV for bypass surgery often leaves an unused section of approximately five centimetres. This left over section is often discarded as waste. No additional harm or surgery is needed. - Informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - GSV <3mm - Previous intervention involving the GSV
