[Surgical treatment of traumatic aneurysms of the peripheral vessels].

The article analyzes the surgical treatment of 64 patients with traumatic aneurysms of the extremity vessels. In late terms (from 1 to 8 years) the main blood flow was found to recover in 46 to 53 patients. An analysis of near and late results showed an expediency of recovery of the main blood flow after ablation of arterial and arterio-venous aneurysms with the help of a circular suture or plasty with autovenous tubular grafts. In arterio-venous shunts the best method was found to be liquidation of the shunt by ligation or suturing it with an apparatus for suturing the vessels.
