[Long-term results of surgical and conservative treatment of patients with occlusive-stenotic lesions of carotid arteries].

Objective: To compare long-term outcomes in patients after carotid endarterectomy and those who refused surgical correction and received only conservative treatment.

Material And Methods: There were 1035 carotid endarterectomies performed at the Kemerovo Regional Clinical Hospital and Kemerovo Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary for the period 2014-2017. Surgery was refused by 136 patients for the same time.

[Computer-assisted simulation of haemodynamic parameters of carotid artery bifurcation after carotid endarterectomy].

Computer-aided simulation appropriately using the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) makes it possible to determine the elevated-risk zones of most probable formation of restenosis. The main idea of the method described in our article consists in a possibility of creating by the model of the geometrical shape of the vessel and characteristics of the flow at inlets and outlets the parameters of flow in each point of a vessel. The curves of velocity are used to create the curves of pressure at inlets and outlets, which are used in a CFD model.
