SUMMARY 1. Autogenous arterial grafts were used to bridge ureteral defects in dogs. 2. An attempt was made to obtain an exogenous blood supply for the graft by embedding it in an intestinal trough. 3. Graft degeneration and anastomotic cicatrisation eventuated in hydro‐ureter and hydronephrosis. 4. Urinary diversion did not alter the biological determination of the graft nor prevent the development of an obstructive uropathy.
