[Ways of limbs salvage in postoperative period of treatment of complications of diabetic foot syndrome].

The article deals with the use of a genetically engineered drug for stimulation of angiogenesis as a component of combined treatment of complications of ischaemic form of diabetic foot syndrome, showing comparative results of using therapeutic angiogenesis in patients in whom it was impossible to perform operative revascularization of the affected extremity, also providing a detailed description of the methodology of combined treatment of pyonecrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome. The study included a total of 62 patients with pyonecrotic complications of Wagner grade III-IV diabetic foot syndrome. The patients were divided into two groups.

[Hybrid intervention for an atherosclerotic lesion of arteries of the iliofemoral segment].

The article describes a clinical case report regarding a successfully performed hybrid intervention in a patient presenting with critical ischaemia of a lower limb and an atherosclerotic lesion of arteries of the iliofemoral segment. Endovascular reconstruction in an isolated manner turned out to be impossible for both technical and anatomical reasons, whereas open reconstruction required two surgical accesses, an extended scope of the operation, and the use of a synthetic graft. Using a hybrid approach favourably contributed to adequate restoration of blood flow in the ischaemized limb, a decrease in the traumatic nature of the intervention, and also ensured angiographic control over the state of the operated arterial segment.
