In three patients operated on for intermittent claudication in 1953, 1954 and 1956, respectively, the pathology causing the obstruction was localized cystic adventitial degeneration of the popliteal artery. On examination 27 to 30 years postoperatively the grafts were all patient, but showed some widening and irregularity. The vein grafts had thus stood a rather long test of time. There were no signs of relapse of the non-atherosclerotic disease of the femoro-popliteal artery. None of the patients had any history of knee injury or joint swelling.
分别于1953年、1954年和1956年接受间歇性跛行手术的3例患者，导致阻塞的病理改变为腘动脉局限性囊性外膜变性。术后27至30年检查时，移植物均保持良好，但有一些增宽和不规则。因此，静脉移植物经受了相当长的时间考验。股腘动脉非动脉粥样硬化性疾病没有复发迹象。所有患者均无膝关节损伤或关节肿胀病史。
