Abstract
The clinical benefit of vascular surgery in patients with occlusive peripheral arterial disease is obvious and well established. A marked improvement of muscle tissue oxygenation was found intraoperatively (1) and on the first postoperative day after vascular reconstruction (2). However, little is known about tissue oxygenation during the 2nd—14th postoperative days. It was tacitly assumed, that the intraoperatively and immediately postoperatively measured increase of muscle pO2 would persist.
