Abstract:
The present study included the results of 154 cases aortoiliac arteriosclerotic obstruction surgically treated at the Clinic for Surgical Diseases--Skopje Yugoslavia. The investigated operative clinical material was divided in to 3 groups. The I group consisted of endarterectomy in 89 patients. The II group had undergone resection of arterosclerotic obstruction in 26 cases. While in the III group a aortofemoral by-pass operation was carried out in 39 cases. In addition, a control group of 16 patients with aortoiliacal arteriosclerotic obstruction were medically treated. Preoperatively all patients were treated by Bergmann, s infusions. In our comparative study we found that the best satisfactory results were obtained by applying each of these methods on selected cases. There were 2 operative deaths.
