[Functional state of the extremities in patients operated on for an embolism of the bifurcation of the aorta and major arteries in follow-up].

The clinical and electrophysiological examination of the late functional condition of the extremity in 103 patients operated upon for embolism of the bifurcation of the aorta and main arteries of the extremities has proved that the function of an operated extremity depends directly upon the condition of the circulation and the severity degree of the ischemia. A dispensary observation over such patients together with special procedures aimed at the improvement of arterial circulation in the extremity are recommended for the improvement of the function of the operated extremity.
