Analysed herein are immediate and remote results of endoprosthetic repair of the abdominal aorta in patients with unfavourable anatomy of its proximal neck. Group I (Study Group) was composed of 31 patients with unfavourable anatomy of the proximal neck, the control group (Group II) comprised a total of 52 patients with no unfavourable anatomical factors. The criteria of assessment were as follows: technical success, adequate position of the endograft, frequency of the development of various endoleaks, duration of the operation and hospital stay, lethality in the remote period, and necessity of secondary interventions.

Everolimus and sirolimus eluting stents (EES and SES) were implanted in 54 (group 1) and 58 (group 2) patients, respectively. After 12 months in groups 1 and 2 rates of repeat target lesion revascularizations (TLR) were 5.

Balloon dilatation is an alternative method of aorta coarctation (AC) treatment, and it may be effective in 80 - 90% cases with appropriate indications. Arterial hypertension is one of the symptoms of AC and frequent complication of short- and long-term postoperative period. Surgical correction does not guarantee regress of pathological symptoms in all the cases, and method of surgery does not influence the rate of postoperative arterial hypertension.

The paper analyzes the immediate and long-term results of point stenting in patients with extended (more than 30 mm) coronary stenoses and compares them with those obtained by routine stenting. The study included 177 patients with varying extent stenoses who underwent traditional implantation of intracoronary stents. Thirty-seven patients undergone the so-called point stenting formed a separate group.

Based on the comparison of the immediate and late results of stenting and balloon angioplasty (BA), the authors consider whether it is expedient to perform stenting of coronary arteries (CA) in all cases of BA in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and different types of CA stenosis. The study included 410 patients: a group of stenting (n = 197) and a group of traditional BA (n = 213). All the patients in both groups were divided into four subgroups in relation to the type of detected stenosis according to the classification of the American Association of Cardiologists (ACC/AHA).

The paper analyzes the results of endovascular treatment in 298 patients with chronic occlusions or subtotal stenoses of coronary arteries. The authors show that balloon coronary angioplasty for chronic coronary occlusions is an effective and relatively safe techniques of myocardial revascularization. Successful endovascularization has been achieved in 68.

The authors analyze whether there is a correlation of balloon coronary angiographic findings with the following X-ray morphological characteristics: the origin of a lateral branch from the stenotic segment of the coronary artery, that of the branch at a distance of no more than 10 mm proximal or distal to stenosis, the angle of branch origin. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the origin of the branch from the stenotic segment is a factor that limits an angiographic success of dilatation of the great coronary vessel.
