[Effect of lumbar sympathectomy on late results of reconstructive operations on the abdominal aorta and arteries of the lower extremities].

The use of reconstructive operation in combination with lumbar sympathectomy for the treatment of obliterative lesion of the vessels of the aortoiliofemoral segment permits to reduce the incidence of development of the early postoperative vascular thrombosis and late reocclusion. A good patency of vascular transplants after combined operation was noted in 62% of cases, after isolated reconstruction--in 38%.
