      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. Seventy-two consecutive femoropopliteal arterial reconstructive procedures performed for limb salvage are reported.
      • 2.
        2. The operative mortality rate was 7 percent within a 30 day postoperative period and 25 percent during the eight-year followup.
      • 3.
        3. Thirty-day postoperative patency was 89 percent in 37 reversed vein grafts, of which 70 percent remained patent during the follow-up period. Eight in situ vein grafts had similar early patency but only two remained open. Of 20 thromboendarterectomies, only 11 were patent at the end of the 30 day postoperative period. Of these, long-term patency was present in nine patients.
      • 4.
        4. A satisfactory clinical result was achieved in about two thirds of the reconstructive arterial procedures in the series.
