Femoral to crural and distal-leg bypasses – five-year-period analysis in University Hospital Centre Zagreb

The goal: To compare the results of most distal femoral bypasses in our institution with results in literature. Patients and Methods: A single centre retrospective analysis of femoral to crural and distal-leg bypass performed in University Hospital Centre Zagreb between 2014 and 2018. Results: Primary one-year patency is even a bit better in our hospital than in literature (80% vs 77% respectively) and secondary patency is in the range of the world literature (54% vs 68% respectively). Conclusion: Surgical revascularization in form of the most distal bypasses, performed in this institution observed, although reserved for a smaller number of patients, is very good and reliable method of treatment, and its results are at the level of world standards and percentages.
