title: [Results of Implantation of Aorto-Femoral Bifurcation Prostheses (author's transl)].
abstract: From June 1974 to December 1975, 139 aorto-femoral Y-grafts were implanted at the surgical clinic of the University of Münster. The operation mortality was 4.3 percent. Among the postoperative complications were sexual disfunction and paraesthesia. For the ileo-femoral occlusions the postoperative success rate was 90 percent, combined ileo-femoro-crural changes showed good results in 60 percent of the cases. The results show that isolated reconstruction in the pelvic area is successful in most cases, even in combined ileo-femoro-crural obstruction. Only in exceptional cases a second operation (reconstruction of femoral artery) is necessary after a period of about one year.
