Abstract

The most frequent site for atherosclerosis is in the vessels below the inguinal ligament and reconstructive surgery should therefore have the widest application at this level. In fact the frequency of additional disease distal or proximal to the superficial femoral segment has a limiting effect on the extent to which such surgery is undertaken.
