ABSTRACT
The authors provide the data on the clinical picture and methods of diagnosis, conservative treatment of ischemic lesions of the alimentary organs in 152 patients suffering from abdominal atherosclerosis. Present a systematized description of the visceral syndromes of the ischemic genesis which can be used in the clinical practice for diagnosing abdominal atherosclerosis and specification of the site of arterial occlusion of the branches of the abdominal aorta.

The clinical picture and results of instrumental and laboratory investigation of 60 patients suffering from atherosclerosis of unpaired branches of the abdominal aorta with the involvement of the digestive system (ischemic abdominal visceropathy) were analyzed. A scheme of combined clinico-instrumental diagnosis of abdominal atherosclerosis to be made in a hospital was developed.

The authors examined 40 patients with chronic ischemic pancreatitis without concomitant pathology of the alimentary organs in order to define the features of the disease clinical picture and progress. It was found that patients with disseminated atherosclerosis, especially when it is coupled with essential hypertension, and with extravasal stenosis of the celiac trunk are predisposed to the development of chronic ischemic pancreatitis. Factors promoting pancreatic ischemia include abnormalities of the blood rheological properties seen in vascular pathology and alimentary hyperlipidemia.
