RESUMO
Three hundred and seventy profundaplasties were performed from January 1977 to December 1987. This procedure was considered indicated in stage IIb in 41%, in stage III in 25.8%, in stage IV in 22.8% and in acute ischemia in 10.4%. The operative mortality was 3%, the five-year-survival rate 53%. Local complications were observed in 12.6%. After 8 years, 76% of the limbs had been saved, although 92 reoperations had been required. According to our experience we consider profundaplasty as an alternative to bypass procedures, especially in multi-level-disease.
