2. Collateral circulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_circulation

   Collateral circulation is the alternate circulation around a blocked artery or vein via another path, such as nearby minor vessels. [1] It may occur via preexisting vascular redundancy (analogous to engineered redundancy), as in the circle of Willis in the brain, or it may occur via new branches formed between adjacent blood vessels (neovascularization), as in the eye after a retinal embolism ...

3. Femoropopliteal bypass - Wikipedia

   Smaller arteries carry blood supply from the popliteal artery to the calf and into the foot. [4] Blockages caused by plaque build-up or atherosclerosis in any of these arteries can reduce leg blood circulation, causing leg pain that may interfere with daily life. [4] Standard popliteal bypass surgery involves the bypass of the popliteal artery. [5]

7. Vessel harvesting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_harvesting

   Coronary artery bypass graft surgery has been in practice since the 1960s. Historically, vessels—such as the great saphenous vein in the leg or the radial artery in the arm—were obtained using a traditional "open" procedure that required a single, long incision from groin to ankle, or a "bridging" technique that used three or four smaller incisions.
