*10) Bypass surgery combined with endovascular treatment is counted in both bypass category (Table 3-2) and endovascular category (Table 3-5). *11) Including redo operation only. Revision surgery cases should be counted in vascular complication part (see Table 6). *12) Including collagen disease related vasculitis, Behçet disease, fibromuscular dysplasia. *13) Postoperative irreversible brain complication. *14) Including percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), stent, and other endovascular means such as catheter atherectomy. *15) Only for open surgery. *16) Including aorto–iliac bypass or ilio–femoral bypasses. *17) Including popliteal–crural (or pedal) bypass. *18) Cases underwent extraanatomic bypass because of graft infection should not be included in this category. Those cases are listed in vascular complication (Table 6). *19) A case underwent axillo–femoro–femoral crossover bypass is counted as on case. A case combined with additional contralateral side of axillilo–femoral bypass as second staged surgery is counted as 2 cases. *20) Including patch plasty. *21) When endovascular treatment performed for multiple region, the case should be counted in each region (If a case underwent endovascular treatment in both aorto–iliac and femoro–popliteal region, this case can be counted one in aorto–iliac, and one in femoro–popliteal region). *22) Counting the patients number. When a case underwent endovascular treatment in multiple regions, the case is counted as one case.
