[Retrospective analysis of endovascular thrombectomy in anterior cerebral circulation out of 6-hours «therapeutic window» in regional vascular centers of Saint-Petersburg].

Objective: Based on a retrospective analysis, to evaluate technical results and functional outcomes at discharge after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in anterior circulation out of 6-hours «therapeutic window» in patients with stroke.

Material And Methods: The retrospective analysis of EVT in 594 acute stroke patients (303 male, 291 female, median age 69 years) with the anterior circulation large vessel occlusion was performed. EVT was carried out before 6 hrs in 550, later in 44 patients.

[Outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy for acute stroke in regional vascular centers of a metropolis (St.-Petersburg)].

Aim: To assess technical results and close functional outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients treated with endovascular thrombecomy (ET) in regional vascular centers (RVC) of St-Petersburg.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of 183 patients with AIS, including 143 patients with AIS due to a large intracranial vessel occlusion in anterior (AC) and 25 patients in posterior cerebral (PC) circulation, 15 with isolated extracranial carotid occlusion treated in 6 RVC in 2017 was performed. All patients underwent ET.

[Experience in catheter balloon dilatation of the heart valves abd aorta in 1024 patients].

The paper gives the results of catheter balloon valvuloplasty (CVP) in 1042 patients: in 557 on the mitral valve, 148 on the aortic valve, 42 on the tricuspid valve, 211 on the pulmonary valve, 84 for aortic coarctation. It analyzes the late outcomes of CVP in 157 patients with mitral stenoses, 31 with congenital aortic ostial stenosis. The paper also demonstrates the good efficiency and relative safety of CVP.

[Diagnosis of obliterating diseases of the vessels of the lower extremities using an ultrasonic method].

The use of echographic apparatus of the latest generation for the ultrasound flowmetry has shown this method to be of value for the objective assessment of regional hemodynamics. It has shown a decreased volume rate of blood flow along the iliac artery in patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels as the disease was progressing. The lumbar sympathectomy gives little effect in patients with severe ischemia of the extremity.
