[Endovascular closure of iatrogenic arteriovenous anastomosis of the iliac artery and vein].

The presented herein clinical case report concerns successful endovascular closure of a iatrogenic lesion of the iliac artery and inferior vena cava with formation of a pathological arteriovenous anastomosis manifesting itself by venous thromboembolic syndrome and severe right-ventricular insufficiency.

[Transcutaneous coronary intervention accompanied by biventricular circulatory support and combined with extracorporeal membranous oxygenation].

In a multiple-vessel lesion of the coronary bed, pronounced accompanying pathology, low ejection fraction of the left ventricle, obesity, previously performed operation of coronary aortic bypass grafting may be causes of refusal from revascularization by means of coronary bypass grafting. A transcutaneous coronary intervention (TCI) in this patient cohort is also associated with the risk of an unfavourable outcome in case of a technically complicated procedure and a large volume of the myocardium supplied with blood by the target arteries. Haemodynamic support of such high-risk TCI by means of intra-aortic balloon contrapulsation or a left-ventricle assist device is associated with a series of shortcomings which are removed by means of a biventricular bypass used in a combination with extracorporeal membranous oxygenation.

[A pathogenetic model of cerebral palsy in children born to mothers with antiphospholipid syndrome].

A pathogenetic model of infantile cerebral palsy caused by maternal antiphospholipid (APS) syndrome has been elaborated. Thirty-two children with cerebral palsy born to mothers with clinical signs of APS have been studied. The basic clinical feature of cerebral palsy in children was the prevalence of the double hemiplegic form, the absence of severe cognitive disorders, global muscular hypotrophy, rapid contracture formation and a tendency to frequent respiratory diseases.

[Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: report of 15 cases].

15 patients with CIDP (8 men, 7 women) at the age of 39-65 have been observed. The duration of the disease varied from 1 to 9 years. The authors have used in diagnostics the WHO's criteria as well as standards of needle and stimulative electro-neuromyography (ENMG).
