title: [Revascularization of the isolated popliteal segment].
abstract: An alternative to crural reconstruction of obliterations of the popliteal vascular axis and an angiographically ascertained isolated popliteal segment is a bypass to the isolated popliteal segment. A patency rate of 82.7% was found 1 year after bypass; after 3 years the patency totaled 76%, and after 4 years the cumulative patency rate amounted to 59%. A comparison of these results with those of crural reconstruction (a patency rate of no more than 60% after 3 years) proved the superiority of the bypass.
