title: [Endarterectomy of the femoral and popliteal arteries].
abstract: The experience of 127 operations for endarterectomy of occlusions of the femoral and popliteal arteries in 122 patients is analyzed. The remote results were observed for 10 years. The cumulative analysis within 10 years after operations have shown 27% of endarectomized arteries to remain passable. The best results were obtained when using the gaseous method modified by the authors, for correction of short occlusions in combination with good outflow pathways. With this form of pathology 68% of arteries are found to be passable within 10 postoperative years.
