The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of standard moist dressings and PICO single-use negative pressure dressings in post-operative lower extremity bypass patients. This study will compare the dressings' ability to decrease swelling, decrease post-operative infection, and improve mobility and quality of life measures. Subjects will be asked to participate in this study because they will undergo a lower extremity bypass using the ipsilateral great saphenous vein. Subjects will then be randomized to two post-operative treatment groups. One group will receive standard sterile gauze and the other will receive PICO single-use negative pressure dressings. Both groups will be assessed for study measures in follow-up visits as clinically indicated up to 1 year with the 30 day timepoint as the primary outcome for study measures.
