[Acute arterial obstructions of the limbs in the aged]. 1979

O Rostan, and A Genton, and R Mosimann

131 cases of acute arterial obstruction were treated during 1973-1977, 70 (52%) of these cases were seen in patients of over 70 years of age and 20 out of them died during the first two months of the surgical treatment, 8 patients were amputed. The long term evaluation of 40 patients who survived for more than two months after the surgical treatment shows a very high mortality (14 of the 40 surviving patients died during the first two years of the surgical treatment). Satisfactory results were obtained in 18 patients. The long term results after arterial obstruction in old patients has high mortality and the number of amputations is directly proportional to the delay before commencement of the surgical treatment.
