ABSTRACT
Over 15 years, 172 femoropopliteal saphenous vein bypasses were performed on 151 patients with chronic obstructive arterial disease. Follow-up varied from a minimum of six months to a maximum of 12 years. The operative mortality was 1.32%, the survival rates at five and ten years were 66.54% and 33.91% respectively, and the patency at five and ten years was 52.02% and 37.55%. The good results obtained, even in the majority of patients with trophic lesions and/or rest pain, indicate that direct arterial reconstruction should be considered the only effective treatment for saving a limb which would otherwise have to be amputated.
