[Use of the "Multitask" device while performing endarterectomy from iliac arteries].

Aim: The study was aimed at assessing efficacy of using the "MultiTASK" device manufactured by the Le Maitre Company while performing extended endarterectomy from iliac arteries in patients presenting with multilevel atherosclerotic lesions of the arterial bed and chronic ischaemia of lower extremities.

Patients And Methods: We analysed the outcomes of surgical management of a total of 37 patients presenting with multilevel atherosclerotic lesions of the common and external iliac arteries and arteries below the inguinal ligament over the period from 2012 to 2015 at the Department of Emergency Vascular Surgery of the Scientific Research Institute of Emergency Ambulance Care named after N.V.

[Cytokine synthesis in the healthy volunteer's blood mononuclear cells under the influence of an indolyl-thio-alkanecarboxylic acid derivative with selective immunosuppressant properties].

The influence of BM-7-02 compound on the production of cytokines in the culture of healthy volunteers' blood cells. This compound suppresses the production of main cytokine (gamma-IFN, IL-2 and IL-4) synthesized by CD4+ Th1 and Th2 cells, stimulates the production of TNF-alpha and IL-6, and does not change the production of IL-1 beta.

[Experience in treating embologenic thromboses of deep veins of lower extremities].

The present work deals with analysing the outcomes of surgical management carried out in a total of five hundred and sixty-six patients diagnosed as having embologenic thrombosis of the lower-limb deep veins. Of these, 377patients received a cava filter implanted, with the remaining 189 patients being subjected to thrombectomy from the iliac and femoral veins. In nineteen patients, the operation was supplemented by establishing an arteriovenous fistula.

[Clinical and ultrasound diagnostics of acute venous thrombosis].

The results of clinical and ultrasound diagnostics of acute venous lower limbs thrombosis in 206 patients are analyzed. The patients were divided in two groups; those in the first group (n=96) had a diagnosed pulmonary embolism, patients of the second (n=110) had no signs of it. 37 (18%) patients had an asymptomatic course of venous thrombosis, 25 (68%) of those were diagnosed with pulmonary embolism.
