title: Revascularisation of distal tibial and pedal arteries.
abstract: The results of 1062 reconstructive operations performed on the tibial and peroneal arteries in patients with Fontaine stage III or stage IV disease are presented. A group of 121 patients in whom the anastomosis was to the tibial or peroneal artery with no direct flow to the foot, and a group of 59 patients with direct anastomoses to the pedal arteries, are analysed in detail.
