[Reconstructive restorative operations in the treatment of obliterating diseases of the arteries of the lower extremities]. 1985

V A Ovchinnikov

A total of 184 reconstructive operations were performed for the femoro-popliteal arterial occlusion. Prior to the operation, the lower epigastric vessels or deep vessels around the iliac bone were catheterized for the purposes of arteriography, intra-aortal infusion therapy, investigation and control of regional hemorheologic and hemocoagulation parameters. Following 117 operations of autovenous shunting, arterial flow was recovered in 104 cases, with reocclusion developing subsequently in 25 patients. Fifty-five endarterectomies were performed, mostly using the open technique without "patching" for a less than 10 cm-long occlusion. Thrombosis was recorded in 1 patient. Ten patients developed a reocclusion at different times after the discharge from hospital. Autovenous prostheses were applied to 7 patients who showed a stable recovery of the main-line flow.
