title: [Surgical therapy of arterial occlusions. Indication and results of revascularization in 5370 peripheral arteriosclerotic occlusions].
abstract: The results of 5370 revascularizations in peripheral arteriosclerotic occlusive diseases are reported. The operative mortality in 532 carotis interna desobliterations with ischaemia stage II was 2.3%. In stage I of 98 prophylactic operations we lost no patient. Instead of the transthoracic reconstruction we now prefer the extrathoracic bypass because of the lower risk involved. The abdominal aortic aneurysm always is an indication for resection because of the danger of rupture. In cases of 100 operated patients with aneurysm we had a mortality rate in the elective stage of 5.3%, in stage of covered rupture of 47.1% and in ruptured aneurysm 85.7%. The complications in vascular reconstruction of the lower extremity are low. The mortality rate after implantation of aortic bifemoral prosthesis is 3.7%, after an unilateral aortic-femoral prosthesis 2.8% and after all operations below the inguinal ligament 1.0%. Also the femoro-tibial occlusions could be revascularized in bypass-technique with a risk of 1.5% and good early results of 90.3%.
