[Use of regional perfusion in the treatment of arterial occlusive diseases of the lower extremities].

The work presents an analysis of 120 isolated perfusions performed in 103 patients with obliterating injuries of the peripheral vessels of lower extremities. In 17 patients the perfusion was performed twice. For prophylactics of the commissural process the area of connection of main vessels of the artificial circulation apparatus (ACA) in 56 patients was wrapped up by teflon in order to ease reoperation. Good and satisfactory results were obtained in 79 (76.7%) of the patients which allowed them to return to their working activity. The application of the teflon sleeve at the level of connection of the ACA vessels was found to prevent the commissural process and to facilitate the access to the vessel in a repeated isolated perfusion.
