Immediate results of revascularization of the extremity through the profound femoral artery were compared with data of an analysis of pressure gradients along the extremity. The value of the profound femoral-popliteal collateral index as a method of prognosis of results of profundoplasty was determined. It was found that the index equal to 0.5 or more showed profundoplasty to be not a promising procedure.
