Between 1990 and 1996 at the Department of Vascular Surgery, Medical Academy in Wroc  aw 34 @entity1 with groin @entity439 were operated. All @entity1 had aorto-bifemoral graft implantation before. The age range between 41 and 81 years. Among @entity1 there were 4 @entity1 and 30 @entity1 . The diagnosis of groin @entity439 was based on physical and ultrasound examination. In each case scintigraphy with 99Tc labeled leukocytes was performed. Scintigraphic picture showed @entity281 in eight (23.5%) @entity1 (group I). In 26 (76.5%) cases (group II) there was no infection on scintigraphy. In group I all @entity1 were operated-the infected graft was excised and then implantation of straight PTFE or venous by-pass "in situ" was performed. In group II all @entity1 were also operated, but through the groin approach only -in 9 cases reconstruction of the anastomosis between graft and artery was done and in 17 cases PTFE by-pass was performed. In group I the results of the treatment were good in 6 cases; in remaining two @entity1 the amputation of the leg had to be done. In group II the results of the operation was good in 24 cases and 2 @entity1 had amputation of the leg. CONCLUSION: Scintigraphy with 99Tc labeled leukocytes is beneficial in the diagnosis of @entity5880 after previous vascular reconstruction.
