[Ligation in the treatment of serous cubital bursites].

The serous cubital bursitis is a frequent disease in general surgical practice. Many treatment modalities has been worked out, such as bursa resection, fluid aspiration, the use of perflourdekaline etc. The suggested method included ligation of the cubital articular bursa with several skin sutures after fluid aspiration.

[Ambulatory treatment varicosity of the lower limbs].

Experience of ambulatory treatment of 260 patients with varicosity of the lower limbs (chiefly with trombovar) is summarized. An original technique of sclerotherapy is proposed. A differential approach to management of horizontal reflux is developed.

[Clinico-physiological assessment of the mechanisms of compensation and paracompensation in patients with mitral stenosis].

The paper presents the results of an examination of 292 patients with Stages II-V mitral stenosis. Clinical, roentgenological, and electrocardiographic characteristics of the defect were analysed. Physical fitness and gas exchange during exercise were studied in 183 patients with Stages III and IV mitral stenosis.

[Differences in the ultrastructural reorganization of the myocytes of the atria and ventricles in the stages of the correction of mitral heart defects].

Ultrastructure and stereomorphometry of the myocardium biopsies from 12 patients are studied at various periods of the correction of mitral vitium cordis under the conditions of total body hypothermia. It is shown that compensatory changes enhance the morphological differences between the left atrium cardiomyocytes in stenosis of the mitral aperture and those in left ventricle in deficiency of mitral valve. By the end of operation the ventricle cardiomyocytes are damaged at a higher degree showing the pronounced myofibrillary contracture.

[Emergency correction of traumatic mitral valve insufficiency under craniocerebral hypothermia].

Data of emergency correction of traumatic mitral insufficiency in 15 patients after closed mitral commissurotomy under conditions of craniocerebral hypothermia without artificial blood circulation are presented. Prostheses of the mitral valve were made in 3 patients, plastic valve-preserving interventions--in 12 patients. One patient died.
