[Vascular-surgical operations in a general surgery clinic]

From experience with 37 vascular operations performed on 31 patients in a general surgical clinic, the authors claim that the reserve in improving the quality of treatment consists not only in specialization and professional mastering of this narrow field of surgery. It is shown that manipulations of temporary hemostasis must be mastered and general surgeons must be trained specially in the problems of emergency angiosurgery. The authors obtained poorer results when embolic complications in myocardial infarction compelled them to resort to operations.
