Zusammenfassung:	In this review of outcome after vascular surgery the results after surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and reconstructions for ischemia of the lower limbs are discussed and compared with the natural course of the disease. Deaths due to rupture of AAA is an increasing problem even though elective surgery because of AAA has increased, the appropriateness of CEA, which is a seemingly logical operation, has been widely discussed, and operations because of ischemia in the lower limbs constitute some 50% of the work of the vascular surgeon.
