[Endovascular interventions in patients with glass iii infrainguinal arterial disease: 2-year results].

Objective: To evaluate the results of endovascular surgery in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with infrainguinal arterial disease GLASS III.

Material And Methods: Treatment outcomes were analyzed for the period 2017-2018. Inclusion criteria were age over 18 years, CLTI, extended (>20 cm) stenosis and occlusion of femoropopliteal segment (FPS) combined with occlusive lesion of tibial arteries.

[Remote results of infrainguinal bypass graft procedures for critical lower limb ischaemia].

Aim: The study was aimed at assessing the remote results of infrainguinal reconstructions in patients with critical lower limb ischaemia depending upon the bypass graft material used.

Patients And Methods: Analysed herein are the results of 237 infrainguinal bypass procedures performed over a 9-year period from January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2018. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the level of the distal anastomosis.

[Endovascular revascularisation in patients with necrotic wounds and extended infrainguinal arterial disease].

Objective: To report own experience of endovascular interventions in patients with extended occlusive lesion (TASC II D) of the femoral-popliteal and tibial arteries and concomitant purulent-necrotic wounds.

Material And Methods: We have analyzed literature data and own experience of endovascular interventions in patients with extended occlusive lesion (TASC II D) of the femoral-popliteal and tibial arteries and concomitant purulent-necrotic wounds.

Results: Endovascular strategy is preferable in a certain subgroup of patients with extended infrainguinal lesions.

[Revascularisation in patients with failed previous arterial reconstructions].

Redo arterial reconstructions are followed by advanced surgical risk or impossible in some cases. Active introduction of endovascular surgery complements the capabilities of conventional surgical approach. It is presented case report of restoration of patency of synthetic femoral-popliteal shunt with previous occlusion for a long time.

[The effect of fluvastatin (Lescol) treatment on the clinical status and function of the liver in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The study included 30 IHD patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (22 males and 8 females). 18 and 12 patients have received a single daily dose of fluvastatin 20 and 40 mg, respectively, in the evening for 12 weeks. The drug effect was assessed by changes in the clinical status, lipid spectrum, transport-metabolic and absorption-secretory functions of the liver.
