[Possibilities of using implanted elastic magnetic elements in reconstructive operations on the abdominal aorta and its branches].

A new method based on the use of elastic magnetic elements has been developed for reconstructive surgery on the abdominal aorta and its branches. In 135 experimental operations and subsequent clinical trial of 40 operations, an oriented 5 and 10 mT elastic magnetic element was implanted to the centre of the reconstruction site, resulting in a considerable reduction of the rate of thrombosis in the reconstructed arterial segments.
