Abstract

In a retrospective study of femoro-popliteal bypass surgery in Denmark during the period 1983 to 1987, a total of 1,532 operations were performed. Approximately 2/3 of the patients were operated upon for limb salvage, the remainder for severe disabling claudication. The perioperative lethality was below two per cent in all departments. Early occlusion rate was found to be between 21 and 11 per cent, leading to major amputation in about half of the patients.
