Abstract
A simple and inexpensive tunneler has been employed in arterial grafting encompassing
femoropopliteal, aortofemoral, and axillofemoral bypass procedures. This is fashioned
from the polyethylene containers used to store Argyll chest and sump drainage tubes.
This technique is recommended because of its simplicity, ready availability, lack
of expense, and relative safety.
