title: [Results of treating a late thrombosis in a vascular prosthesis after surgical repair of an aorto-femoral arterial segment with atherosclerosis].
abstract: During a four-year period from 1987-1990 as many as 43 patients were operated on at the Department of General and Vascular Surgery PMA, Szczecin for occluded aorto-femoral grafts. Late thrombosis occurred in 6.2% of patients who underwent aorto-femoral bypass grafting. That was the most frequent indication for reoperations. The author concludes that extra-abdominal graft thrombectomy via the groin, resection of the old anastomosis and insertion of a piece of new graft to the deep femoral artery produce the best clinical results. The cumulated index of patency of prostheses after 24 months was 38%.
