ABSTRACT
A method has been elaborated in experiments on animals for the implantation of the autovein into the injured vessel lumen with the aid of a specially made device for saving the transplant ends in the artificially made wall of the recipient-vein circular folds. The internal wall is smooth on its total length, has no weak points on the sutures, preserves the topical character and direction, and the vascular bed is less traumatized. The peripheral arteio-venous shunting made simultaneously due to the accelerated venous blood flow, reduces the transplant postoperative thrombosis to 30%.

146 patients with varicosis of the lower limbs were operated upon in a method unified by the author. Consideration was given to the late results found in 132 patients followed up within the period from 1 to 9 years. 5 patients (3.8%) developed recurrence of the disease.
