[Strategies of surgical treatment of hemorrhage in postinfection damage of the main vessels in patients with substance dependence].

There was summarized experience of surgical treatment of 88 patients with narcotic dependence, in whom the hemorrhage have occurred due to postinjection injury of the main vessels. Reconstructive-restorational operations were conducted in acute period in the absence of sepsis, hemorrhagic shock and vast focus of infection, using auto vein and in the remote period--synthetic prostheses. All the patients, suffering narcotic dependence, admitted to the clinic, are considered as probably AIDS-infected. Medical staff, performing medicinal care in such patients, must be provided with the individual defense facilities.
