Assessment of the patient's quality of life in the long-term postoperative period after reconstructions on lower extremity arteries.

The study accrued 28 male patients provided reconstruction for atherosclerotic lesion of lower extremity arteries. Their ages ranged from 36 to 69 years, with a mean of 57.73+/-8.

[Quality of life of patients with atherosclerotic lesion of lower extremity arteries as dependent on individual and typological properties of the patient personality].

Twenty men with atherosclerotic lesion of lower extremity arteries verified by contrast angiography and ultrasound Doppler were examined. The patients' age varied from 36 to 69 years (mean 57 years). Six patients had IIB ischemia, 13 presented with degree III and one patient had degree IV ischemia according to the R.

[Choice of revascularization procedure in obliterative disease of leg's distal arteries].

The results of surgery of the lower extremities' distal arterial occlusive lesions in 182 patients are analysed. The total number of surgical operations was 211. The doppler ultrasound examination and angiography were used to evaluate hemodynamic significance of the lesions.

[Doppler ultrasonics in the solution of tactical problems of the surgical treatment of patients with obliterating diseases of the arteries of the lower limbs].

The work deals with the analysis of the results of ultrasonic dopplergraphic examination (USDG) of the blood flow in the lower limbs of 251 patients with various stages of obliterating diseases of the lower limb arteries. The authors developed the tactics of treatment in different anatomical variants of affections of the vascular bed with consideration for the results of USDG, in "story" occlusions among others. The role of USDG in prognosticating the results of reconstructions and in the regular medical examination of the patients in the late-term postoperative period is shown.

[Surgical treatment of magistral vein injuries].

The article generalizes the experience with the surgical treatment of 83 patients with injuries of major veins. The integrity of injured veins in 71 patients was restored by reconstructive operations. Good and satisfactory results were obtained in 71 patients.
