    Author: Weber R, Becker HM, Baumann G.
    Journal: Thoraxchir Vask Chir; 1977 Jun; 25(3):132-8. PubMed ID: 898162.
    Abstract:
    The revascularization of the profunda femoris artery, the minimal vascular operation, is described in this paper. After the anatomic and pathological relations of the femoral arteries the indications and the position of the profunda-revascularization in vascular surgery of the thigh are reported. During a period of 15 years (1959-1974) a profundaplasty was performed in 357 cases on 308 patients in the Munich University Surgical Clinic. The result of the operation could be controlled in 320 cases. The lethality-rate of operation is 3,8%. The operation was successful after 5 years in 75,3%, after 10 years in 62,6% in the whole period in 60% of the living patients. If there is a vascular disease of the deep femoral artery, the profundaplasty proves to be a standard technique in the vascular surgery of the thigh.
