[Effect of partial ileoshunting on hyperlipoproteinemia in patients with atherosclerosis]

In 57 atherosclerotic patients with concomitant hyperlipoproteinemia operations of partial ileoshunts were performed consisting in shunting the distal third of the small intestine. The follow-up observation was up to 6 years. A persistent decrease of the elevated level of lipids and cholesterol of atherogenic LDL and VLDL was noted as well as a considerable and stable increase of the level of cholesterol of antiatherogenic very high density lipoproteins and a lower atherogeneity coefficient. It facilitates stabilization and regression of atherosclerosis.
