Abstract:
In the difficult field of crural surgery technical details are very important. However only if we succeed in demystifying the crural bypass and integrating it in to general surgery, will we succeed in drastically lowering the number of amputations. To achieve this aim PTFE graft was used as extraanatomic bypass. Based on experience with more than 500 operations (since 1. January 1980), the Linton patch, and not the AV-fistula, is the best additional measure for treating distal anastomosis.
