[Analysis of the results of femoro-popliteal arterial bypasses depending on the clinical stage of disease].
The strategy of treating infra inguinal arterial lesions according to the clinical Fontaine stage is very difficult and complicated. Critical limb ischemia is considered a strong indication for revascularization without delay. It is still not clear what operative treatment should be chosen for patients in Fontaine stage II. Early femoro-popliteal bypass reconstruction is a new practical doctrine and the wise alternative before the onset of severe and irreversible changes in the peripheral arterial vessels and the microcirculation. This conception takes a very important part in the evaluation of the long-term perspective of patients.
