Abstract
Twenty-two extremities with segmental femoral artery obstruction were treated by blood
vessel graft. Operation was successful in sixteen extremities with resulting relief
of intermittent claudication and healing of ischemic lesions. The incidence of success
was decidedly greater with arterial homografts than with venous autografts. Late thrombosis
was observed in one of eleven successful arterial homografts and one of five successful
venous autografts.
The indications for, techniques of, and sequelae following this surgery are described.
