Abstract

The aim of the study was to perform a comparative evaluation of the use of various methods of reconstructive assistance in the defeat of the femoral-tibial segment in elderly patients with peripheral arterial disease. 253 patients over 60 years old (60-74 years and more than 75 years) with atherosclerotic lesions of arteries below the inguinal ligament were examined and revascularized. According to the type of reconstruction performed, the patients were divided into 3 groups: 98 patients underwent open surgical interventions; 116 patients underwent endovascular interventions; 39 people performed hybrid reconstructions. The shorter duration of each stage of hybrid interventions, minor blood loss, and stability of hemodynamics during the perioperative period positively characterize hybrid effects. It was found that there was a shorter stay in the intensive care unit and shorter hospitalization of patients after hybrid revascularization methods compared to open methods. The absence of dangerous complications and the primary patency of the operated segment in the early postoperative period, approaching 100%, characterize hybrid techniques as an effective method of treating patients with infraganginal arterial disease. Conclusion: H...Continue Reading
