[Semiclosed endarterectomy from iliac arteries under duplex scanning]
Abstract:
The investigation included 149 cases of semiclosed endarterectomy from iliac arteries in 134 patients. Intraoperative duplex scanning were used in 32 patients as a deobliteration control. Other 117 cases were performed by using of traditional method. Specific deobliteration complications such as thrombosis of operated segment and embolism of operated and contralateral limbs arteries with atherogenic masses were observed 10 patients. Intraoperative control was not performed in these cases. Arterial wall perforations with loop tool were observed in two groups, but the frequency was statistically significant lower in the group with duplex scanning. Mortality rates did not differ. Amputation number of lower limbs was statistically lower in case of deobliteration control using.
