Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
During 18 months' period of war in northeastern Croatia 38 wounded with injuries of lower extremity arteries were operated on in Osijek Department of Surgery demanding the use of substitute conduit for vascular reconstruction; 26 synthetic prosthesis and 12 vein grafts were applied. Ankle-brachial index and life-table method were used for the construction of the initial and cumulative limb salvage rate at 40 months. Cumulative graft patency and limb salvage rates for synthetic grafts was 87.67% +/- 6.9 and for vein grafts 91.67% +/- 8.0 respectively and did not differ significantly for both synthetic prosthesis and autologous vein grafts. |
