title: [Revascularisation in peripheral vascular occlusions (author's transl)].
abstract: The 240 reconstructions of the femoral artery, performed within the last 4 1/2 years, involved 26 patients (27 bypasses) with combined femoral and peripheral vascular occlusions. The bypasses were connected with a segment of either the popliteal or the tibial artery. There was no operative mortality. The mean period of follow-up was 13 months: 18 of the bypasses were patent (2 patients died with open bypass), while 7 bypasses occluded (3 patients died). The authors feel, that isolated artery segment should always be explored. Only an autogenous vein graft should be implanted.
