[Vascular surgical treatment of chronic leg ischemia in patients over 70--choice of procedure and results].
Vascular reconstructions were performed in 322 patients over 70 years of age. The indications for operation of 372 lower extremities were: chronic occlusive disease with rest pain or gangrene in 94 percent and intermittent claudication in only 6 percent. The operative mortality rate was 10.1 percent (39 patients). In a percentage of 71 the early results were good. The late results in a period of 75 months are analyzed by the life-table method.
