[Stenting of calcified iliofemoral venous segment in post-thrombotic syndrome].

Stenting of the iliac veins in patients with post-thrombotic syndrome is an intervention associated with a low risk of complications, high primary and secondary patency rates, low incidence of restenosis, leading to a significant decrease in the severity of symptoms of chronic venous disease and a high rate of trophic ulcer healing, as compared with conservative therapy. Unlike subcutaneous veins, the formation of calcinates in deep veins after endured thrombosis is of considerably less frequent occurrence. Described in the article is a clinical case report concerning successful stenting of the iliofemoral venous segment in a female patient presenting with post-thrombotic syndrome, a trophic ulcer of the crus, and the presence of linear calcinosis in the lumen of the iliac veins and common femoral vein.

[Efficacy of Venarus in treatment of patients with post-thrombotic disease of lower limbs].

The authors studied efficacy of Venarus in comprehensive treatment of patients presenting with post-thrombotic disease. An open multicenter retrospective study included a total of 110 patients subdivided into two groups. Group One (Study Group) consisted of 51 patients with post-thrombotic syndrome, undergoing comprehensive medical treatment with the use of phlebotonic agent Venarus.

[Endovenous laser obliteration and combined phlebectomy for treatment of varicose veins in elderly and senile patients].

In the available literature, we have found no comparative data on the efficiency and safety of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and traditional phlebectomy in elderly and senile patients. According to our results, in elderly and senile patients, the pain syndrome is much less pronounced after EVLA as compared with phlebectomy, the frequency of ecchymosis with an area of more than 100 cm2 and distal thrombosis of deep veins is lower. In the analyzed groups, there are no significant differences in the frequency of post-surgical complications after surgical intervention.

[First experience with minilaparotomy for Leriche syndrome].

The authors present the first experience with reconstruction of the terminal part of the infrarenal aorta from minilaparotomy. There were 11 aortofemoral bifurcation shunts in patients with Leriche syndrome. In two cases conversion (general calcification of the aorta, visceral obesity) was necessary.
