Seek care now: Was that the leg that the grafts were taken from? Call you surgeon and report it.

Foot swelling: Lower extremity swelling not unusual after saphenous vein harvesting. May need support hose, get wound checked to be sure no infection.

Bypass: With vein harvesting edema is common. But always report any concern to your surgeon.
