[Functional-anatomical prerequisites of revascularization of the femoro-popliteal arterial segment].

Improved results of surgical treatment of patients with critical ischemia of lower extremities can be obtained by using the collateral bed. The condition of the profound femoral artery and the popliteal artery, especially in the zone of its trifurcation, is of the greatest significance for the decision on the volume of surgery. The carrying capacity of the collateral bed of the profound femoral artery in occlusion of the femoral artery was on average 284 ml/min.

[Local tissue hypoxia consequence in the trophic venous ulceration in elderly patients].

This paper analyzes the data of examination and the results of the treatment of 25 patients aged over 80 years (mean age 68.5+/-7 years) suffering from varicosity with long nonhealing trophic ulcers of the distal limb segments (CVI CMP C6) and 20 patients of the same age groups with CVI CEAP stages 3-5. All patients with CVI underwent either full-scope phlebectomy (64.

[Multilevel revascularization of the lower extremities using loop endarterectomy].

Results of 91 reconstructions of the ilio-femoro-popliteal segment in patients with multilevel injuries of the lower extremity arteries were analyzed. In 42 of the operations a method of operations associated with loop endarterectomy was used. The first stage in all the patients consisted of iliac deep femoral reconstructions or semi-closed loop endarterectomy from iliac arteries in order for inclusion in blood flow of the profound femoral artery.

[Surgical treatment of patients with critical ischemia of the lower limbs of atherosclerotic etiology].

The authors analyze the results of conservative and operative treatment of 546 patients. The results of operative treatment (reconstructive operations on the arteries, osteo-trepanation) were shown to be considerably better in cases of critical ischemia than those of conservative treatment (infusion therapy, hemodilution, plasmapheresis).

[Evaluation of functional potentials of microcirculation in patients with obliterating diseases of lower limb vessels].

An analysis of the data of laser doppler fluorometry in 136 patients has shown that different obliterating diseases have different typical fluorometric features of changes in microcirculation. Results of the postischemic test are of greater informative value in the noninvasive assessment of the functional state of microcirculation. The significance of the functional tests was particularly increasing in critical ischemia of the lower extremities.
