[Remote results of infrainguinal bypass graft procedures for critical lower limb ischaemia].

Aim: The study was aimed at assessing the remote results of infrainguinal reconstructions in patients with critical lower limb ischaemia depending upon the bypass graft material used.

Patients And Methods: Analysed herein are the results of 237 infrainguinal bypass procedures performed over a 9-year period from January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2018. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the level of the distal anastomosis.

[Two-year results of infrainguinal reconstructions using autovenous shunts and xenografts].

The authors analysed two-year results of inftrainguinal distal arterial reconstructions using xenograft ("kemAngioprosthesis") as compared with an autovein. Ours was a retrospective study including a total of 110 patients who endured 57 femoropopliteal (distal) and 54 femorotibial bypasses by means of both an autovein and a xenograft used as a shunt. The indications for reconstructive operation in the majority of cases was critical ischaemia induced by an atherosclerotic lesion of the femoropoplitealtibial segment corresponding to type D according to the TASC II classification.

[Thrombolytic therapy in patients with pulmonary artery thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis].

Presented herein are the results of thrombolytic therapy (TLT) with actilyse, urokinase medac and purulase used in patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary artery thromboembolism (PATE) and treated in Municipal Clinical Hospital #57 of the Surgical Diseases Department of the Paediatric Faculty. Based on the data of present-day publications and own clinical material, the problems concerning the use of thrombolysis in patients presenting with DVT and PATE are discussed.

[Remote results of open and endovascular operations in correction of occlusive and stenotic lesions of the femoropopliteal arteries].

Analysed in the article are the long-term outcomes of open reconstructive operations and endovascular interventions performed in patients presenting with occlusive and stenotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery. Between September 1996 and December 2009. a total of 226 open operations and 151 endovascular interventions were carried out in 327 patients suffering from occlusive and stenotic lesions of the superficial femoral artery.

[Acute thrombosis of lower-limb arteries: contemporary approaches to therapeutic decision making].

Analysed herein are therapeutic outcomes in a total of 499 patients presenting with acute thrombosis of the aorta and lower-limb arteries and having previously no reconstructive operations on limb arteries on the affected side. Group I was composed of the patients who had during the first 24 hours of hospitalization undergone an emergency operation (n = 146), and Group II comprised those subjected to medical treatment only (n = 353). In Group I, the number of the patients who survived with a preserved extremity amounted to 91.
