[Clinical variants of chronic ischemic syndrome of the lower extremities]. / Klinicheskoe varianty khronicheskogo ishemicheskogo sindroma nizhnikh konechnostei.

Analysis is made of 1,014 cases with occlusive lesion of the bifurcation of the aorta and iliofemoral segment in patients with chronic ischemic syndrome of the lower limbs. The cause of high arterial occlusion with atherosclerosis in 95.5% of patients and nonspecific aortitis in 12 cases. A group of 20 patients with selective lesion of the femoral segment, which is distinguished from atherosclerosis obliterans, endarteritis with ascending thrombosis, and nonspecific aortitis by its clinico-angiographic and morphological manifestations, was analyzed in detail. This form of arterial occlusion is called "segmental thromboarteritis". The results of reconstructive operations in most patients with "segmental thromboarteritis" proved unfavourable.
