title: [Auto-venous femoral-popliteal bypass in patients of different age groups].
abstract: The results of autovenous femoro-popliteal shunting performed in 106 patients with infrainguinal atherosclerotic arterial occlusion were investigated. All the patients were divided into 3 groups: younger than 50, from 50 to 60 and older than 60 years of age. The most favorable results were registered in the group of patients aged from 50 to 60. In 3 years these results made up 52.2%, in 5 years--17.4%. The lowest indices of shunt functioning were noted in patients younger than 50, and 3 and 5 years later they were 38.5 and 7.7% respectively. In 70% of this age group patients there were injuries of the main crural arteries and significant changes in the phospholipid fraction level. The main cause of unsatisfactory results of shunting operations in the femoro-popliteal area is though to be the injuries of the main crural arteries and the progressing course of the atherosclerotic process.
