title: [Late results in supraaortic reconstructions (author's transl)].
abstract: Since 1965 we have performed 602 reconstructions at the supraaortic branches, mainly at the carotid artery. Follow-up showed equally good long-term results in subclavian reconstructions by transthoracic and extrathoracic approach. The patency was 90% after 6 years. Mortality in carotid endarterectomy was 1.6%. According to the Life Table Method the survival rate was 57.6% after 5 years in stage I, 73.7% in stage II, and 66% in stage IV.
