Abstract

The question of what effect role obliterative vessel disease has on postoperative outcome was analysed with the help of uni- and multivariate analysis. The univariate analysis showed significantly more preoperative risk factors in patients with obliterative vessel disease. Our multivariate analysis found three independent factors: ASA class, age, duration of surgery. Obliterative vessel disease seems to be a disadvantageous factor, but may be influenced by preoperative existing risk factor.
