[Complications of arterial reconstructions for chronical ischemia of the lower limbs (author's transl)].

547 operations performed for reconstruction of 637 chronically occluded arterial segments in the aorto-iliac and the femoro-popliteo-crural stages were analyzed for occurred complications. Lethal event as the gravest complication happened in 4.6 p.c. of the aorto-iliac and in 1,1 p.c. of the peripheral operations. Most frequently we saw a disturbed wound healing (9.8 p.c.), but only in 0.5 p.c. a deep, also the artery including infection. Early reocclusions, caused by technical imperfectness during the performance of the operation were registered in 2.5 p.c. of the cases. In addition further observed complications are discussed.
