[Use of stents with bioactive coating in treatment of patients with lesions of the superficial femoral artery].

The authors analysed the immediate outcomes of implanting stents with bioactive coating in treatment of patients presenting with atherosclerotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery. Over the period from January 2014 to December 2015, endovascular interventions on the superficial femoral artery were carried out in a total of 18 patients (mean age 61.3±9.

[WAYS OF IMPROVEMENT OF LOOP ENDARTERECTOMY RESULTS FROM ILIAC-FEMORAL SEGMENT].

The article presents an analysis of treatment results of 91 patients with iliac-femoral segment artery occlusion at the period from 2008 to 2014. Patients were divided into 2 groups: main group (n=30) consisted of patients who undergoing a half-closed loop endarterectomy with following implantation of stent-grafts in this area and control group (n=61) had patients whom were performed routine half-closed loop endarterectomy. The II degree of ischemia of lower extremities was in 88 (96,7%) patients and III degree had 3 (3,3%) patients.

[ENDOVASCULAR ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURISM REPAIR].

The authors analyzed the single-center experience of treatment of 72 patients with abdominal aortic aneurisms and severe accompanied pathology. The aneurisms were repaired by stent-grafts. All the patients had abdominal aortic aneurisms with the diameters from 41 to 84 mm against the background of severe somatic pathology.

Somatic changes in primary liver cancer in Russia: a pilot study.

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is a major public health concern worldwide, ranking third among the causes of death from cancer. Molecular pathogenesis of PLC is known to be especially sensitive to ethno-environmental variations that modulate mutation spectra in tumours. Despite a high prevalence of chronic liver diseases, the molecular epidemiology of PLC is still poorly known in Russia.

[Stagewise surgical treatment in type III B chronic aortic dissection].

Presented herein is a clinical case report of successful surgical treatment (open and endovascular operation) of a patient with DeBakey type III B chronic aortic dissection. The diagnosis was verified by contrast-enhanced multispiral computed tomography (MSCT). The first stage consisted in operation of carotid-subclavian bypass grafting and aortomy with dissection of the internal membrane of the abdominal aorta, dividing the false and true channels.
