Abstract
594 non selected ''in situ'' reconstructions were analyzed retrospecti vely using the life table method. Especially after immediate occlusion the cumulative patency rate is unsatisfactory (33.1% vs 62.3% after 6 years). Patency rates are influenced by the anastomotic site and main ly by run off conditions. The number of patent tibial arteries seems t o be the most important determinant. These results prove to be statist ically significant.
