[Endovascular treatment of deep vein thrombosis of the upper extremities].

Objective: To improve the results of treatment of deep vein thrombosis of the upper extremities sing endovascular technologies.

Material And Methods: We analyzed safety and effectiveness of treatment in 24 patients with deep vein thrombosis of the upper extremities. All ones were divided into 2 homogeneous groups by 12 people each.

[Acute cerebral circulation impairment associated with percutaneous coronary intervention].

The article deals with generalized literature data on the current importance of the problem concerning acute cerebral ischemia occurring during percutaneous coronary interventions. Pathophysiological mechanisms of the development of acute cerebral circulation impairment are described, with their classification. Also considered are various risk factors which may cause this formidable complication, followed by describing modern methods of its surgical treatment.

[Cardiac ruptures in acute myocardial infarction].

Presented in the article are the generalized data of the Russian and foreign literature addressing the currently important problem of myocardial ruptures as one of the most dangerous complications of infarction, also analysing the results of clinical studies on interconnection of heart ruptures with systemic thrombolytic therapy and with a percutaneous coronary intervention. This is followed by describing the mechanisms that may lead to myocardial rupture during thrombolytic therapy and surgical endovascular treatment, underlying the necessity of pharmacological pre- and post-conditioning for prevention of reperfusion myocardial lesions. The article also touches upon the clinical and instrumental diagnosis of myocardial ruptures, as well as approaches to surgical treatment depending on the type of rupture and necessity of myocardial revascularization.

[Endovascular interventions in true and false aneurysms of hepatic, splenic and renal arteries].

A false aneurysm of visceral arteries is a life-threatening pathology sufficiently difficult to treat. Open operations are characterised by a large scope, considerable surgical injury and accompanied by a high rate of serious complications. The development of the technology of superselective catheterization of blood vessels, creation of specialized microcatheters, glue composites and various types of spirals made it possible to treat this severe pathology without resorting to open operations.

[Coronary angioplasty with direct stenting: assessment of primary results and some economical aspects].

Unlabelled: Comparison of immediate angiographical and clinical results of direct coronary stenting and stenting after predilation was carried out in 68 patients. Groups of patients subjected to direct stenting and stenting with predilation had similar clinical and angiographical characteristics. Direct stenting was successful in 100%, stenting with predilation--in 97.
