Further study details as provided by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Primary uncorrected graft patency after 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • - Secondary graft patency after two years
  • - Limb survival after two years
  • - Complication rate perioperatively

Estimated Enrollment: 400
Study Start Date: October 1993
