[Surgical treatment of non-specific aortoarteritis of the aorto-femoral segment].

For 15 years, the authors observed 158 patients with non-specific aortoarteritis. Of them in 37 (23.4%), isolated lesion of the terminal aorta, iliac and femoral arteries was revealed; in 81.1%--severe degree of ischemia of the lower extremities, 39.4% of men had impotency. Associated lesions of the aorta and arteries of the lower extremities was revealed in patients with acute inflammatory process. The extent of vascular occlusion depended on its presence. Surgical treatment was performed in 35 patients; in 30, the reconstructive operations were performed, in 3--lumbar sympathectomy, in 2--amputation of an extremity. At the early postoperative period, a good result has been noted in 82.9%, 5.7% of patients died. Twenty six patients were followed up for 5 years, 60.1% of them have shown a good result.
