Aim: to improve treatment of patients with severe atherosclerotic lesion of lower extremities arteries followed by critical ischemia by optimization of femoropopliteal bypass surgery.

Material And Methods: Treament and survey of 60 patients with severe atherosclerotic lesion of femoropopliteotibial segment and critical lower limb ischemia were analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on technique of femoropopliteal bypass. Conventional in situ autovenous technique was used in group 1. In the second group we used original method of free autovenous graft with destructed valves.

Results: Technique of free autovenous graft with destructed valves decreases incidence of early postoperative complications by 13.3%, remote thrombosis of graft by 13.3%. Also it increases physical and mental components of health by 7.9% and 3.1% respectively.

Conclusion: Use of free autovenous graft with destructed valves is reasonable and improves results of treatment.

: Lower extremity arterial disease is one of the most prevalent manifestations of atherosclerosis. The results from numerous studies regarding the best revascularization method of an occluded superficial femoral artery have been conflicting. The aim of this study was to compare the patency of transvenous endovascular with open femoropopliteal bypass, both with vein and prosthetic grafts.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of bilateral internal mammary artery grafting over long-term (15 years) postoperative period.

Material And Methods: There were 276 patients divided into two groups: 135 patients (group A) underwent bilateral internal mammary artery grafting and 141 patients (group B) underwent unilateral internal mammary artery grafting together with venous bypass grafts. On-pump surgeries and cardioplegia, parallel CPB and on-pump procedures were performed in equal proportions.

We present a successful case of treating an infected popliteal aneurysm in a 71-year-old man who arrived at the emergency department in a septic state, reporting a three-week history of fever, lethargy, general malaise, and pain and swelling in the right popliteal fossa. Previously diagnosed with a sizable right popliteal aneurysm, the patient had undergone endovascular treatment using a Viabahn (WL Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, USA) endoprosthesis two months earlier. His fever and malaise emerged a week following minor surgery for a toe infection (panaritium) on the right foot, leading to subsequent necrotic lymphangitis on the dorsum of the same foot.

Idiopathic True Radial Artery Aneurysm: A Rare Case Report.

Arch Iran Med

April 2023

Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Nis, Nis, Serbia.

Idiopathic true aneurysm of the distal radial artery is a rare disease with only few reported cases. Most patients were treated surgically with proximal and distal arterial ligatures, while there are reports of only 7 cases where revascularization procedures were performed. We present a case of a 66-year-old man with a pulsatile mass in the right forearm at the location of the radial artery.

Replacing an infected vascular prosthetic conduit with an allograft is a possible solution of this complication given the low recurrence of infection. It is most commonly utilized for cases where the use of autologous tissue is not an option. We present the case of a 70-year-old patient who had undergone repeated vascular reconstructions in the right lower limb.
