[Reconstructive surgeries on deep femoral artery in chronic critical limb ischemia].
Possibilities of revascularisation of the lower extremity through the deep femoral artery in elderly and aged patients with chronic critical limb ischemia were evaluated. Forty-nine patients with high surgical risk were studied. Safety of the extremity, decrease of ischemia degree and level of amputation were the main problems in surgical treatment. Deep-femoral-popliteal index was very important. If this index was less 0.3 surgeries on deep femoral artery were effective. If index was 0.3-0.5 results of surgery were questionable. Index more than 0.5 is the factor of unsuccessful revascularisation through the deep femoral artery.
