This paper details an under-development animal model to study the vascular pathology of vein grafts in a variation of the initial Carrel canine bypass experiment. The possible findings on detrimental effects of hydrostatic distention, if and when quantified, may alter surgeons’ harvesting techniques.

An ad hoc interim analysis pursuant to previous publications raising concerns on Paclitaxel DCS in chronic critical and not-critical lower limb ischaemia. The short manuscript requires careful reading to form an individual opinion beyond the relatively simple arithmetics: slightly more deaths in the intervention group.
