Peripheral vascular bypass surgery is a procedure to restore blood flow around a blocked artery in the legs or arms. A graft (using a vein from the patient or a synthetic tube) is connected above and below the blockage, creating a new pathway for blood. This surgery is usually done for patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) when angioplasty or stenting is not suitable.
