Abstract:
The authors have proposed a method for predicting the effect of Buchwald's operation (partial iliac bypass surgery) and successfully tested it in 32 patients with hyperlipidemia. The method is based on pharmacological simulation of major pathophysiological intervention points verified by radionuclide hepatobiliscintigraphy. Evaluating lipid metabolic changes before and after simulation serves as a basis for predicting the effect of the operation.
