title: [Surgical management of peripheral arterial disease. Operative methods and results].
abstract: Various operative and interventional methods are available to treat patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The selection of the appropriate therapy should be made after a careful review of the patient's general condition, the morphology of the arterial occlusion, the risk of possible complications, and the likelihood of long-term success for each type of treatment. The different procedures complement one another in their technical possibilities and their risk profile The combination of surgical and interventional methods offers new therapeutic possibilities. The different surgical procedures and their long-term outcome are presented in this publication.
