[Mid-term results of endovascular revascularization through primary retrograde distal access].

Objective: To evaluate the mid-term results of endovascular revascularization of the lower extremities through primary retrograde distal approach.

Material And Methods: We prospectively analyzed the mid-term results of 74 endovascular surgeries via primary retrograde distal approach in 69 patients with lower extremity ischemia. Mean age of patients was 68.

Primary retrograde distal access for endovascular interventions in patients with lower limb ischemia.

Objective: To evaluate safety and technical efficiency of primary retrograde distal access for endovascular interventions in patients with lower limb ischemia.

Material And Methods: A prospective analysis included 25 endovascular procedures via primary retrograde distal access in 23 patients with chronic obliterating diseases of lower limb arteries. Occlusive lesion of femoral-popliteal segment was observed in 68% of cases, occlusion of at least one tibial artery was also found in 68% of cases.

['Life-saving' interventions in subacute thrombosis of crural and plantar arteries].

The authors report a clinical case concerning successful endovascular treatment for subacute thrombosis of crural and plantar arteries in a patient with the only leg, substantiating therapeutic decision making with due regard for the duration of thrombosis and localization of the lesion of the arterial bed. Taking into consideration the statistical data on survival in case of performing major amputation in this cohort of patients, an 'aggressive' endovascular approach including three vascularizations made it possible not only to preserve the leg but also to save the patient's life.

[The influence of fermented dairy whey on morphofunctional indices and physical training of sportsmen].

The aim of the study was to examine anthropometry, physical fitness, metabolism at the level of the microcirculation and adaptive processes of the organism as a whole under the inclusion of enzyme-hydrolyzed whey in the diet of 27 weightlifters 17-23 (21.7±2.7) years old, with the level of sports skills of 1 category of up to masters of sports.
