[The efficacy of peptide bioregulators of vessels in lower limbs chronic arterial insufficiency treatment in old and elderly people].

Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of obliterating diseases of the arteries in 80-90% of cases. The main pathogenetic mechanism is endothelial dysfunction, leading to hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure. The desire of modern society to improve the quality of life increases interest of human health in general and sexual health in particular, because the erectile function is an important factor in the quality of life, which makes us look for more effective methods of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

[Debitometry in outcome forecasting of lower limb artery reconstructions in elderly and senile patients].

We use perfusion roller debitometry as an original method of flowmetry. Roller pump enables to support perfusion pressure at constant level. This way, we can estimate the flow rate of distal vascular throughput at aorto-femoral and femoro-popliteal reconstruction for success of operation.

[Pathogenesis of chronic ischemia of the lower extremities in patients of advanced ages].

Peripheral artery disease can be most frequently observed at elderly and senile age. Aging, development of atherosclerosis and propensity to thrombosis are closely interconnected. The age of 50-70 years is the most critical to developing vascular insufficiency.

[Medico-diagnostic strategy in patients with postinfarction aneurysms of the left ventricle in combination with aneurysms of the abdominal part of the aorta].

The authors describe the algorithm of examination and methods of operation on 24 patients. It allowed shortening the time of compression of the aorta, of acute ischemia of the lower extremities, less operation blood loss, exclusion of postoperative lethality.

[Specific features, problems, and prospects of myocardial revascularization in elderly and aged patients].

Last years the progress in development and improvement of coronary surgery and angioplasty, with shunting with patients of elderly and senile age, has been observed in the Russian Federation. This is connected, in the first place, with the progress in timely diagnostics of coronary artery disease, development of surgical equipment, anaesthesiology and resuscitation, introduction of new methods of intra-operative protection of myocardium, development and active use of modern methods of treatment of patients before and after the operation. However despite the versatility of existing scientific schools and literary sources covering this problem, the discussions on indications and contraindications to active surgical treatment of coronary artery disease with the patients of the given age group still continue.
