[X-ray endovascular surgery in the trauma and orthopedic unit]

The review of X-ray endovascular surgical methods applied in the practice of FSF CITO named after N.N. Priorov since 1970 is presented. The complex evaluation of the altered conditions of performing angiographic examinations for the time present was carried out. The main regulations of anesthesiological provisions for angiographic studies in conditions of an in-patient trauma department are described. The methods of interventional X-ray surgery became use in patients with vertebral column and spinal medulla injuries, traumas with the threat of pulmonary thromboembolism and in patients with bone pathology. More than 200 patients with a traumatic disease of the spinal medulla and scoliotic deformities were investigated. In all patients spinal angiography with the evaluation of the spinal cord blood supply was performed. The results of more than 450 angiographic examinations the patients with bone pathology are presented. In 83 cases X-ray endovascular embolizations of the regional blood flow were done. 63 Cava Filters were implanted in patients with floating pelvic and leg vein thrombosis. Own expertise of the use of tentative Cava Filters is described. These and other data testify of X-ray endovascular methods prove to be in demand in traumatological and orthopedic practice. Their application will open new possibilities for traumatologists and orthopedists in the process of preventive measures, diagnostics and treatment the patients
