That depends!: The success of your surgery depends on what the problem is and what surgery is being planned.

Depends: Generally, vascular surgery done on larger vessels have a good long-term success, but also have a higher early mortality. Smaller vessels have a lower overall long term patency, but also have a lower early mortality. As with anything, a lot depends on the experience of the surgeon and the condition of the patient.
