Abstract
Two-level arterial obstructions of the lower limb soon lead to high-grade, peripheral impairment of blood flow; the result is a greatly reduced walking distance, rest pain, or ischemic tissue lesions. In most cases, there is an absolute indication for vascular reconstruction as long as advanced gangrene does not necessitate amputation.
