Abstract

This paper describes the results of the treatment of 53 patients with combined arterial lesions of the iliofemoral and femoro-popliteal segments. Altogether 56 primary one-step operations were performed. The initial success was achieved in 53 (94.6%) cases. The long-term results were followed up in 43 (81.1%) patients, in the long-term period, repeated endovascular interventions were accomplished in 6 (1.8%) patients with re-stenoses of the iliac arteries. The best long-term results were obtained in the groups of patients who had undergone balloon angioplasty and stenting of the iliac arteries.
