[Aspects of the pathology, clinical picture and treatment of occlusive and valvular insufficiency of the venous circulation in the lower extremities].

The results of studying 475 patients with chronic venous circulatory insufficiency and 157 persons with venous-trophic ulcers of the crus are analysed. Exact determination of the segments of the primary lesion and the routes of the compensatory drainage is very important in the choice of the method of treatment of these patients. The object of the operation is removal of the lesion and restoration of the blood flow, which is achieved by thrombectomy in the early stages and by correcting manipulations in the later stages.
