[Efficacy and safety of intermittent catheterization for acute urinary retention: a prospective comparative randomized study].

Objectives: of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intermittent catheterization in the management of acute urinary retention and to identify factors influencing the resume normal voiding and the development of adverse events.

Materials And Methods: 129 patients admitted to urology department with acute urinary retention due to BPH were randomized into two groups. Group I had indwelling bladder catheterisation using Foly catheter.

[Treatment of patients with a cerebral arterial aneurysm and stenosis of the internal carotid artery].

Aim: The purpose of this study was to analyse the world literature dedicated to the problem concerning treatment of a combination of internal carotid artery stenosis at the extracranial level and an arterial aneurysm of the brain, as well as to demonstrate own results of surgical treatment of patients presenting with this concomitant pathology of the carotid basin.

Patients And Methods: From 2013 to 2019, a clinical course of combined pathology of the basin of the internal carotid artery (an intracranial aneurysm and stenosis of the internal carotid artery at the extracranial level) was revealed in 35 of 1638 examined patients. There were ten men and 25 women, with a mean age of 66±7 years.

[Therapeutic policy in stenosis of the internal carotid artery combined with intracranial vascular malformation].

Presented herein is the world experience of surgical treatment and various tactical approaches in a combined lesion of the extracranial and intracranial portions of the internal carotid artery (ICA): a combination of its stenosis or occlusion with vascular malformation of the brain (a cerebral aneurysm, pathological anastomoses, arteriovenous malformations). Also pointed out is the prevalence of the pathology involved, followed by describing various types of surgical policy in this condition: staged and simultaneous interventions, endovascular and standard operative auxiliary techniques. Taking into consideration a low incidence rate of combined pathology of the ICA, there are currently no randomized studies that would make it possible to work out a common tactical approach to management of this cohort of patients.

[Endovascular interventions in treatment of patients with acute impairment of mesenteric blood circulation].

The authors share herein their experience of treating a total of eight patients with acute impairment of mesenteric blood circulation, describing both technical and instrumental peculiarities of interventions on the superior mesenteric artery. Technical success defined as restoration of the main blood flow through the superior mesenteric artery was achieved in seven (87.5%) patients.

[Outcomes of open endovascular operations on the internal carotid artery in acute stage of ischaemic stroke].

Introduction: The authors share their experience in diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute ischaemic stroke.

Patients And Methods: The study included a total of 33 patients. Of these, 20 patients (Study Group) were operated on at terms ranging from 2 to 7 days after onset of acute cerebral circulatory impairment.
