[Surgery of acute thrombosis of the bifurcation of the aorta and arteries of the extremities].

An analysis of results of the surgical treatment of 826 patients with acute thromboses of bifurcation of the aorta and main arteries of extremities enabled the author to draw a conclusion that indications for radical reconstructive operations should become wider. This can twice reduce the incidence of the development of gangrene and 1.5 times-lethality. The optimal method of treatment of acute arterial thromboses is thought to be thrombectomy in combination with shunts and prostheses.
