[Aneurysmal lesions of the extracranial segment of the internal carotid artery].

The article contains a review of the literature devoted to the state-of-the-art data concerning management of patients presenting with an aneurysmal lesion of the extracranial segment of the internal carotid artery. This is followed by describing two clinical case reports regarding aneurysms of the extracranial segment of the internal carotid artery and the outcomes of endovascular treatment.

[Effect of the terms of complete revascularization on the outcomes of treatment of patients with st segment elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease].

The study was aimed at evaluating the results of treating a total of 227 patients presenting with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD), who underwent primary percutaneous interventions (PCI). The patients were subdivided into three groups: Group One consisted of the patients having endured multivessel stenting (MVS) within the framework of a primary PCI (n=40); Group Two comprised patients having endured stagewise revascularization (SWR) carried out within 60 days after the index event (mean 29.9±19.

[Optimal timing of the second stage of revascularization in the treatment of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and multivascular involvement].

An assessment of outcomes in 187 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with multivessel coronary disease who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was done. All patients were divided into two groups: in group 1 (n=39) second phase of revasculrization was performed within 60 days, in group 2 (n=148) it was carried out or planned in more than 60 days after index event. During 12 months of follow up rates of combined end point (death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization [TVR]) and TVR in group 1 were lower than in group 2 (5.
