[Outcomes of endoprosthetic repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm].

Aim: The study was aimed at assessing efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms based on 11-year experience with implantation of stent grafts.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analysed outcomes of treatment of 242 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm during the period from 2008 to 2019. Of these, 210 (86.

[Graft-renal bypass surgery during intraoperative dissection of renal artery in a patient with high occlusion of the aorta].

Despite advances in the development of endovascular techniques of revascularization of renal arteries, in certain clinical cases still remains the need to perform extra-anatomic renal bypass grafting. To such instances belong complicated atherosclerotic aortic lesions, technical difficulties occurring during open revascularization of the aorta and its branches, as well as aneurysms of the juxtarenal portion of the abdominal aorta. Presented herein is a clinical case concerning a patient subjected to non-standard restoration of blood flow in the right renal artery after thromboendarterectomy from the juxtarenal aorta, performed from the left-sided extraperitoneal phrenolumbotomic approach and complicated by secondary dissection of the intima in the right renal artery.

[Robotic-assisted operations for pathology of the aortoiliac segment: own experience].

Aim: The present study was aimed at assessing the results of a total of 40 vascular operations carried out using the robotic-assisted da Vinci surgical system.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2013 and September 2019, a total of 40 robotic-assisted vascular operations were performed at the Department of Vascular Pathology and Hybrid Technologies of the Centre of Vascular and Hybrid Surgery. Of these, 31 interventions were carried out for occlusion of the aortoiliac segment and 9 for removal of an aneurysm of the infrarenal portion of the abdominal aorta.

[Problems and prospects of cell therapy for critical ischaemia of lower limbs].

Background: Cell therapy was proposed as a procedure of indirect revascularization for patients with critical ischaemia of lower extremities for whom endovascular and surgical revascularization is impossible. We present herein a review of the state of the art of studies in the field of cell therapy of this cohort of patients.

Basic Provisions: Cell therapy has proved safe, however, the results of studies of efficacy are relatively ambiguous and unconvincing.

[Autoarterial remodeling of the common carotid artery bifurcation in treatment of stenotic lesions].

Carotid endarterectomy is the main operation carried out for prevention of ischaemic stroke in haemodynamically significant stenoses of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. Despite the literature data demonstrating some advantages of eversion carotid endarterectomy over the classical technique there arises a series of complicated, as yet unsolved problems. This concerns the control of the distal portion of an atherosclerotic plaque in prolonged lesions of the internal carotid artery, the absence of a temporary bypass graft, necessity of prosthetic repair of the internal carotid artery in detachment of the distal border of the plaque.

Stenting of the carotid artery with CGuard and Acculink stents: interim results of a randomized trial.

Aim: The study was undertaken to evaluate safety and efficacy of carotid stents Acculink (open-cell carotid stent) and CGuard (closed-cell type stent) in treatment of patients presenting with atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries.

Patients And Methods: The study enrolled a total of 50 patients diagnosed with haemodynamically significant stenosis of the carotid artery and divided into two groups of 25 patients each. Group One patients received Acculink stents and Group Two patients underwent implantation of CGuard stents.

[Endovascular interventions for stenoses and occlusions of the brachiocephalic trunk].

The study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular interventions in the treatment of stenoses and occlusions of the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT). Described in the article are the results of retrospectively analysing the efficacy of endovascular interventions performed in a total of forty-five patients presenting with lesions of the BCT. Depending on the type of the BCT lesion, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Group One consisted of 28 patients diagnosed with stenoses of the BCT and Group Two included 17 patients found to have occlusions of the BCT.
