[A case of successful one-stage correction of abdominal aortic aneurysm and stenosis of the internal carotid artery in a 78-year-old patient].

Presented herein are the results of successful one-stage revascularization of the brain and reconstruction of the abdominal aorta in a 78-year old patient with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, the signs of rupture, stenosis of the left renal artery and multiple aortic arch lesions -- stenoses of both internal carotid arteries and both vertebral arteries. The sequence and technology of surgical intervention are described.

[Changes in renal and testicular veins in left-sided varicocele and choice of the surgical method in children and adolescents].

Selective phleborenotesticulography, ++tensiometry of the left iliac, right and left renal veins, vena cava inferior, duplex scanning of the left renal vein were performed in 356, 296 and 57 patients, respectively, of a total of 356 examinees aged 8-17 years with left-side varicocele. Among other tests were measurements of hormones in the blood from the left and right testes (n = 24), pO2, pCO2. Stenosis, aortomesenteric compression (AMC) of the left renal vein, left-side venous renotesticular hypertension (RTH) of the left renal vein were diagnosed in 12, 342 and 158 patients, respectively.

[Load tests in silent myocardial ischemia and latent heart failure in patients with IHD and intermittent claudication].

244 patients with ischemia of the lower limbs were treated surgically in the specialized cardiovascular center. No lethal outcomes were reported because previously derived algorithm of detecting silent myocardial ischemia in patients with intermittent claudication and load tests (bicycle ergometry and drug stress tests) had allowed the surgeons to ascertain the extent of coronary damage and detect subclinical cardiac failure. Valid assessment of cardiac factors enabled the right choice between surgical and therapeutic methods and staging of the procedures.
