Abstract
A prosthetic grafting method for vascular bypass surgery is disclosed wherein a section of a blood vessel which is non-functional is excised and restored for use as a blood vessel. At least one cuff is severed from the restored excised section and sutured to an end of a prosthetic graft. Alternatively, the cuff may be severed from another suitable donor vessel. The cuff and the graft are then attached to blood vessels downstream and upstream, respectively, of the now removed excised section to form a new flow passage around the formerly non-functional section.
