[A comparison of the results of the surgical and the conservative corrections of hyperlipidemia in treating atherosclerosis].

Long-term results of surgical correction of hyperlipidemia in 46 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of lower extremities were compared with results of conservative treatment of 41 patients with the same pathology within the terms from 6 months till 5 years. It was shown that the surgical correction of hyperlipidemia resulted in more considerable and stable decrease of the blood lipid level as compared with the conservative treatment, in better course of the concomitant IHD and arterial hypertension.
