In 62 patients 72 repeated multiple operations on the arteries of lower extremities were carried out. In 7 cases both lower extremities had to be amputated at mid-femoral level. The time from the first vascular operations to the amputation of the other extremity ranged from 6 months and 16 days to 8 years and 30 days (mean 5 years).
