Treatment of patients with occlusive-stenotic diseases of the arteries by endovascular method

Abstract

Annotation. The case of successful treatment of a patient with critical lower extremity ischemia illuminates the possibilities of different approaches of the endovascular surgical method. The results of treatment of patients with occlusive-stenotic diseases of the lower extremities arteries as a result of obliterating atherosclerosis were analyzed. 243 patients underwent endovascular surgery. 14 (5.76%) patients were previously operated on. The multi-storey lesions were found in 35 (14.4%) cases. Most patients were ranged in age from 46 to 86 years. There were 175 men (72.0%) and 68 women (28.0%). The right lower extremity was affected more often – 148 (60.9%) patients than the left ones – 95 (39.1%). The thrombosis was diagnosed in 21 (10.6%) individuals as the most common complications in the early postoperative period. Limb amputation was performed in 12 patients. Mortality rate in the early postoperative period was 2.56% (4 patients died). It is established that the methods of choice in the reconstruction of stenotic-occlusive lesions of the arteries are: balloon angioplasty (and stenting), rotor-mechanical thromboaspiration, regional thrombolytic therapy. These methods are performed mainly under local anesthesia, they are minimally invasive and can be used in patients with severe comorbidities.
