title: [Complementary profundoplasty. Clinical experience].
abstract: The Authors report a 68% overall success rate in a three years follow-up study of 45 "complementary" profundoplasties. The key factors with a significant prognostic effect on the clinical surgical results are the early postoperative increase of the resting ankle pressure index (I.W.) and the angiographic preoperative patency of the tibial arteries. An early postoperative increase of I.W. has been always associated with good results whereas an unchanged postoperative I.W. has always been associated with poor results; an angiographic tibial run-off (one or two or three patient tibial arteries) has been associated with significant better clinical results (p less than 0.001).
