It was reported to intervascular that during an axillo bi-femoral bypass procedure, the graft was sewn in at the top end and then the surgeon injected saline solution to test the anastomoses before securing at the bottom end.The surgeon noticed leaking in several places.Additional information provided by the initial reporter indicates that they had suture the top and the axillary and was testing the anastomoses; one side of the graft was fine but the side branch leak was unusual which the surgeon believed was excessive.The surgery was not delayed since the leaking part was removed and replaced by an albo polyester graft 40cm length by 8mm width.The surgeon has over 20 years of experience and has often used intergard products.He has always performed the procedure in the same way and has never noticed this before.There was no harm or injury to the patient.
