title: [Comparison of results for operative and conservative treatment of multisegmental atheromatous arterial occlusion in the lower limbs after a 2-year period of observation].
abstract: Two hundred eighty seven patients treated surgically and 139 patients treated conservatively for multisegmental arterial occlusion in the lower limbs were followed up for two years. The results of therapy have been compared according to the site of arterial occlusion and the degree of ischemia. Surgery produces more chances for favourable results but an amputation rate or deaths are more frequent, than in case of the conservative treatment. No expected relationship between the results of surgery and of conservative therapy, localization and extension of the atheromatous process has been shown after a 2-year follow up.
