[Local signs of the reperfusion syndrome in obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity arteries and their treatment].

There were examined 32 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities arteries, in whom the reperfusion syndrome have occurred after performance of the restoration operation. In 8 patients aorto-femoral shunting was performed and in 24--femoro-popliteal one. There was established that local signs of the reperfusion syndrome, as a rule, have occurred in patients with critical ischemia of the lower extremities preoperatively. Characteristic signs of the reperfusion syndrome were noted, the methods of its prophylaxis and treatment were adduced.
