Increasing age correlated positively with decreasing rate of revascularisations ( n\u2009=\u2009122, df\u2009=\u20091, \u03c7\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u20094.23, p\u2009=\u20090.039). In total, 23 (9.3%) patients died in the observation period. In-hospital mortality was 2.8%, percentage of major amputations 2.8%. In the invasively treated subgroup, 13 out of 67 patients died within the observation period. Death after revascularisation was independent of age ( n\u2009=\u200967, df\u2009=\u20091, \u03c7\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u20092.05, p\u2009=\u20090.153).
