The incidence of risk factors at the time of operation and in the late postoperative course was evaluated in a series of patients operated upon for reconstruction of the aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal tracts. The data reported seem to indicate a direct correlation between the long term patency rates of the arterial reconstructions and the incidence of the risk factors.
