[Service intervention for prevention of recurrence].
The decision for or against a service procedure after arterial reconstructions in older patients needs some knowledge about life expectancy, natural course of the lesion and the risk of the procedure. There is no clear definition of a "failing reconstruction". The natural course of pathological lesions of arterial reconstructions is almost unknown. Especially in very old patients there are no general rules for service procedures.
