[Peripheral prosthesis bypass for saving the extremity].

We report the results of more than 1000 PTFE tibial bypass implantations during the last 20 years. An extra-anatomic lateral bypass to the peroneal or tibial artery prevents angulation problems. Using the Linton patch technique, early results improved to 85%. In the context of redo-operations long-term results are enhanced through the consistent use of PIDDA catheter. In 57% we achieved our purpose: limb salvage until the death of the patient or for 3-7 years (3.8 years in the middle) at the time of reexamination. Two examples of lateral tibial bypasses are given that have been functioning for 18 years.

[Advantages of the combination of surgical and sclerosing treatment of varicose veins. A new kind of therapy for varicose veins].

In many patients with varicose veins the combination of surgery and sclerotherapy gives good results and reduces the operating time for each patient considerably. Especially in all patients with recurrent and side branch varicose veins this method seems to be advantageous. During the last ten years we treated 3328 patients with varicose veins. The combined method was used in 64% (2130 patients).
