Abstract
Peripheral artery bypass grafting is a commonly performed procedure. The present report describes the use of an autologous artery for tibial artery bypass graft following a gunshot wound to the calf. Approximately 4 cm of proximal peroneal artery was harvested for use as a bypass graft. At one year postoperatively, an arterial duplex scan showed patency of the tibioperoneal trunk to the posterior artery bypass.
