    Abstract:
    The remote results of 220 reconstructing operations on an aorto-iliofemoral segment have been gathered in this article. The time for this analysis was from 1 year till 5 years after an operation. There were 38.6% of late complications in the study. The atherosclerosis was the cause number 1 (70.7%), neointima hyperplasty was the cause number 2 (14.6%). We also have to mark technical problems (6.7%) and infectious complications (8%). 89 patients had repeated reconstructing operations after from 3 months till 5 years after the first operation. The blood circulation has been restored in 73% of cases. In 22.5% of cases it was necessary to make an amputation. The postoperative mortality was 6.7% with the main cause of infection. The cause and the form of a complication were as important for the kind of an operation as the condition of an arterial vessels and a general patient's status.
