This study evaluated 30 crural bypass operations, finding 14 remained patent while 16 occluded. Occlusion led to thigh amputation in 9 cases, highlighting the need for careful patient selection.

- Vascular Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Abstract:
The late results of the first 30 crural bypass operations are presented. The longest follow-up period was 6, the shortest 1 year. At the time of check-ups 14 of the bypasses were penetrable, and 16 were occluded. On 9 of the latter 16 amputation of the thigh had to be performed. Flow conditions and the problems of indication and contra-indication are discussed.
