[Anesthesia in surgery of the veins]

Patients with varicose complex of low extremities do not present any special problem in anaesthesiology. Method recommended is inhalational anaesthetic, eadly mobilisation of patient and infusion of low molecular dextran, during and immediately after operative procedure. During thrombectomy from deep venous system there is real danger of pulmonary embolism. This group of patients has higher risk than former, too. Authors recommended their own method for prevention of preoperative centripetal mobilization of thrombus, using a standard Recklinhausen's cuff inflated against abdominal wall under a plexiglass plate.
