title: [Value of femoral bifurcation transposition for revascularization of the thigh].
abstract: Fifty-seven patients with 60 transpositions of the femoral artery bifurcation were prospectively analysed. This operation provided limb salvage in 95% and a sufficient revascularisation in 88% after the operation and 81% during follow-up 18 (6-28) months. The transposition of the femoral artery bifurcation is a reasonable operation in patients with a relevant stenosis of the profunda femoris. It does not need alloplastic patches, the saphena vein is conserved and, in our series, subsequent distal bypass was required in less than 10%.
