title: [Aorto-profunda femoris bypass grafting in the treatment of aorto-ilio-femoral atherosclerotic occlusive disease].
abstract: Fourteen patients with aorto-ilio-femoral or ilio-femoral atherosclerotic occlusive disease were treated with aorto-profunda femoris bypass grafting. Excellent results were confirmed after a mean follow-up period of 15 months. Ankle-brachial index raised from 0.1 +/- 0.12 before operation to 0.64 +/- 0.26 months after operation. The authors considered that the profunda femoral artery plays an important role in aorto-femoral arterial reconstruction. It is a good outflow providing arterial blood to severely ischemic legs with occlusion of aorto-ilio-superficial femoral or ilio-superficial femoral arteries.
