Since 1980, we performed the aorto-iliac and / or femoral, and femoro-popliteal bypass surgeries in 14 cases of A.S.O. (arterio sclerosis obliterans).
The rate of patency was 92% (13 / 14). Bypass graft was occluded in only one case. Operations should be done immediately after angiography, because rapid obstructive process was seen in this case.
U.K. (urokinase) used immidiatly after operation was very effective to prevent thrombosis and to preserve patency of the grafts.
