[Roentgeno-surgical treatment of vascular occlusive diseases of the lower extremities]. / Rentgenokhirurgicheskoe lechenie okkliuzionnogo porazheniia sosudov nizhnikh konechnostei v stadii tiazheloi ishemii.

The methods of direct revascularization of the lower extremities in occlusive-stenotic lesion at the stage of severe ischemia were used in 144 patients. Of them in 35, simultaneously or with a several day interval, the ++roentgeno-endovascular dilatation (RED) in the several segments of the arterial bed was carried out, in 36--RED was performed in combination with 2-3 procedures of plasmapheresis, in 16 patients in occlusion to a large extent, the isolated balloon profundoplasty was performed, in 46 patients with total lesion of the vessels--isolated RED of the aorto-iliac segment. This contributed to increase in the effectiveness of the collateral blood flow in the vessels of the lower extremities. A high effectiveness of the methods employed was noted in follow-up of from 1 to 5 years. The indications for the use of RED and causes of failures are presented.

[Experience in the implantation of permanent electrocardiostimulators in a district hospital]. / Opyt ustanovki postoiannykh élektrokardiostimuliatorov v usloviiakh oblastnoi bol'nitsy.

The experience with implantation of the first 100 cardiostimulators is summarized. The necessity for more wide use of the programmed electrocardiostimulators in the clinical practice is noted. The most effective method for control of the implanted system is the use of the electrocardiostimulation analyser which permits artificial reproduction of the functions of perception and imposing the rhythm of an electrocardiostimulator.
