[CHOICE OF PROSTHESIS IN AXILLOFEMORAL BYPASS IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH RISK AND MULTILEVEL LESIONS OF LOWER LIMB ARTERIES].

An analysis of results of experimental research was made in 60 patients with critical ischemia of lower extremities due to bilaterally atherosclerotic lesions of aorto-iliac segment, which had a high operationally anaesthetic risk. Synthetic polytetrafluoethylene prosthesis or biological shunt from internal pectoral bull arteries were used as a shunt. Revasculization was performed through the system of arteria profunda femoris considering multilevel lesions of lower limb arteries. An application of biological prosthesis allowed decreasing the rate of early postoperative complications on 13,3% , late thromboses--on 30%, extending the medium term of shunt functioning in 1.8%, improving physical component of health on 12.8% and mental--on 9.1% during the immediate postoperative period. The experiments on rabbits were carried out. It was shown, that biological prosthesis had the greatest biological compatibility.
