Abstract
The results of a survey of 302 operations in 277 patients during 1959-70 are presented, and an additional 69 operations during 1971 are included in the mortality figures. Operative mortality (1968-71) was 0·9% in 113 aortoiliac operations and nil in 96 femoropopliteal operations. Immediate patency rates on dismissal from hospital exceeded 95%, and the five-year patency rate for aortoiliac operations was just over 70% and for femoropopliteal operations 60%.Keywords
