[Doppler ultrasonics in the solution of tactical problems of the surgical treatment of patients with obliterating diseases of the arteries of the lower limbs].

The work deals with the analysis of the results of ultrasonic dopplergraphic examination (USDG) of the blood flow in the lower limbs of 251 patients with various stages of obliterating diseases of the lower limb arteries. The authors developed the tactics of treatment in different anatomical variants of affections of the vascular bed with consideration for the results of USDG, in "story" occlusions among others. The role of USDG in prognosticating the results of reconstructions and in the regular medical examination of the patients in the late-term postoperative period is shown. The importance of ultrasonic examination in the recognition of developing late reocclusions is emphasized. Preventive vascular reconstructions in the prethrombotic stage of the process makes it possible to improve the late-term results of surgical treatment of occluding diseases of the main arteries of the lower limbs.
