[Reconstructive surgery in atherosclerotic aortoiliac occlusions]. 1981

A S Nikonenko

The article discusses results of reconstructive operation in 140 patients with aorto-iliac occlusions. Standard femoro-femoral shunting was fulfilled in 84 patients, cross femoro-femoral shunting -- in 38, axillary-femoral shunting -- in 4 patients. To the author's mind, the aorto-femoral reconstructions in spite of their high efficiency can not be recommended to patients with severe concomitant diseases because of their traumatic character. The author substantiates the differentiated approach to choosing the means of reconstructive measures, with the degree of risk and variations of atherosclerotic lesions taken into account.
