[Selection of optimal method of general anesthesia for intubation of nasolacrimal duct in young children].

Purpose: comparative assessment of safety and clinical efficacy of Sevoflurane and Halothane in general anesthesia for nasolacrimal duct intubation in children.

Material And Methods: Clinical results of nasolacrimal duct intubation in 288 children with persistent obstruction of tear duct were analyzed. A newly developed method of general anesthesia in the supine position was used for all cases.

[Outcomes of using various-type patches in surgery of carotid arteries].

Presented herein are 6-month-to-6-year remote outcomes of using dilating polytetrafluoroethylene patches, an autovein, and a xenopericardium treated with diepoxy compounds in course of carotid endarterectomy in a total of 198 patients. The patients' age and degree of cerebrovascular insufficiency according to A. V.

[Radical removal of carotid chemodectoma followed by prosthetic repair of the internal carotid artery].

Presented herein is a case report of successful surgical management of a 34-year-old female patient diagnosed with carotid chemodectoma, a relatively rare pathology vascular surgeons come across and have to deal with. A comprehensive examination (including duplex scanning of cervical arteries, multispiral CT angiography) revealed a 7 x 8 cm cervical tumour completely invading the walls of both the external and internal carotid arteries, thus requiring their resection, followed by prosthetic replacement of the internal carotid artery with a synthetic graft. The postoperative period turned out uneventful.

[Role of multispiral CT angiography in diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic cerebral circulatory insufficiency].

Implementing in our clinical practice multispiral CT angiography (MSCTA) of the brachiocephalic arteries into the diagnostic algorithm has made it possible to somewhat deviate from the "golden standard", i.e., the conventional contrast-enhanced angiography, in determining the indications for surgical interventions in a total of 328 patients presenting with chronic cerebral circulatory insufficiency (CCCI).
