The purpose of this paper is to establish the survival rate of patients submitted to aorto-femoral bypass grafting and compare it with the general mortality rate of the population in the State of São Paulo. The records of 210 patients with aorto-femoral bypass grafts and mean age of 54 years were analysed according the Kaplan and Meyer method. The survival curves of the normal population with the age of 55 and 70 years were used for comparison. Our results are comparable with those reported in the international literature. The aorto-femoral atherosclerotic disease Hás the same features wherever lives the patient. The death is caused mainly by cardiac disease. In our patients, however, the infection of the prosthesis was also an important factor in the fatal outcome of the disease. After ten years about half of the patients submitted to an aorto-femoral bypass grafting are still alive.
