Abstract

Since the first effective surgical treatment of PAD, the indications for such a treatment have been more extensive and its results and methods have been changing. We present 123 patients who underwent surgery for PAD in the Clinic of Cardiosurgery, Institute of Cardiology, Medical Academy of Lódź within 1978-1987. In 101 cases PAD was dissected and both ends were sutured in two layers with continuous sutures, and in 22 cases PAD was ligated with 3 ligatures. In 30 patients PAD coincided with other congenital defects of the circulatory system. No cases of recanalization were observed in our patients. One death in the postoperative course was noted.
