Short medial bypass is the predominant open surgical repair; however published outcomes frequently combine all techniques (medial and posterior, short and long, vein and prosthetic), preventing accurate interpretation of technique-specific results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present a retrospective cohort study of across 2 UK tertiary centres between January 2014 and December 2019. All patients underwent short exclusion bypass with autologous saphenous vein only. Short bypass was defined as inflow from mid-distal superficial femoral artery or above-knee popliteal artery to outflow at below-knee popliteal artery, tibioperoneal trunk, or crural vessel.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>69 limbs in 59 patients underwent short bypass over this period. Median age was 71 years, 96% were male and a PAA median size of 35\u00a0mm. Five-year outcomes demonstrated overall survival of 83.1% (95% CI: 74.0 \u2013 93.2%), amputation-free survival of 76.3% (95% CI: 66.2 \u2013 87.9%), and secondary patency of 90.1% (95% CI: 82.9 \u2013 98.0%). Thirty percent required reintervention, predominantly for graft stenosis or ongoing sac perfusion. There was no evidence of proximal inflow disease progression that required intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
