[Reconstructive surgery in arteriosclerotic occlusions of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries]. 1988

A F Antushev, and R A Putialis, and A V Chikotas

The results of 213 reconstructive operations for atherosclerotic aorto-iliac lesions are reviewed. Good late results were recorded in 64.3% of patients. Total postoperative mortality rate was 5.6%. Operations using synthetic vascular prostheses produced better results, as compared to endarterectomy. Extra-anatomical bypass improves circulation to the limbs in patients with grave attendant diseases.
