[Reconstruction of the terminal aorta in the treatment of ischemia of the lower extremities]. / Rekonstrukcija zavrsne aorte u lijecenju ishemije donjih okrajina.

The significance of the terminal aorta reconstruction in the treatment of lower extremities ischemia cases is described in this work. The indications for this type of reconstructive operations, as well as operating methods which were performed on 115 patients are described. To be able to perform any of the described methods, authors are of opinion that advantages, as well as disadvantages in their mutual relation should be well known. Authors believe that after reconstruction in the aorta-iliac area is carried out, some additional reconstructive operations in the peripheral parts of the femoral artery can be avoided, because they do not contribute to better results.
