title: [Revascularization of distal arteries of the leg: critical considerations on more than 2000 cases reported in the literature].
abstract: The Authors review the results of more than 2000 cases of lower extremity revascularization, treated from 1969 to 1991 and reported in the literature. They evaluate indications, contraindications and results at 12 and 24 months from operation performed with saphenous vein "in situ" and reversed. Finally they stress the greater reliability of by-passes performed with "in situ" saphenous vein graft.
