Fig 1 Thirty-day post-operative complications after common femoral endarterectomy (CFE). Major organ dysfunction (cardiac, pulmonary, renal) was rare, but wound-related complications and operative reintervention rates were high. The mortality rate was relatively high at 3.4%.

Fig 2 Distribution of major complications before and after hospital discharge. This graph provides another perspective to the distribution of postoperative complications reported in Table III. A significant percentage (30%) of deaths and cardiac and pulmonary complications occurred after hospital discharge. Most wound-related complications occurred after hospital discharge.

Fig 3 Prediction model for 30-day mortality. Age and nonindependent functional status carried the highest weights as predictive factors for death. Risk scores were calculated for the patients in the test sample and tabulated to the observed death rates to estimate the expected death rate for a given patient. The range bars show the standard deviation. ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologists.
