Surgical treatment of the severely ischaemic leg: II. Salvage rates

Abstract: SUMMARYThe salvage rates in 437 severely ischaemic legs (384 patients) treated by arterial reconstruction or by lumbar sympathectomy were studied by the life table method. The results were analysed in the surviving patients.Follo wiug arterial reconstruction, the salvage rate was 70per cent at 2 years and 60per cent at 5 years. The results were similar for aortofemoral reconstruction and for femoropopliteal bypass grafting. Following aortofemoral reconstruction the outcome was better for endarterectomy procedu… Show more

“…A recent paper by Myers et al (1978) has assessed many of the factors influencing the rate of limb salvage in a large series of severely ischaemic limbs. Profunda revascularization by proximal endarterectomy or profundaplasty showed an encouraging salvage rate, by the life-table method, of 70% amongst survivors at 5 years.…”
