[Should thrombendarterectomy of the superficial femoral artery still be practiced? (author's transl)].
112 subintimal dissections are follwed up over a period of 3 years. The results (67,6% patent at the end of the third year) come up to those of the saphenous vein bypass. The rate of secondary amputations (8%) is low, the mortality rate comes up to 3,6%. In our opinion thrombendarterectomy has satisfactory late results. There is no reason to abstain from it in favour of the vein bypass procedure.

Ist die Thrombendarteriektomie der A. femoralis superficialis aus der Sicht der Langzeitergebnisse noch gerechtfertigt?
