[The conduit application in surgical treatment of corrected transposition of the main vessels]. / Primenenie konduita pri khirurgicheskom lechenii korrigirovannoi transpozitsii magistral'nykh sosudov.

Experience of surgical treatment of 45 patients with corrected transposition of the main vessels (CTMV) is summarized. Indications and tactic of surgical intervention for CTMV with the pulmonary trunk (PT) stenosis using conduit as a parallel exit from venous ventricle are substantiated. Original construction of autopericardial conduit is adduced. Basing on analysis of results of surgical treatment an optimal type of conduit for treatment of CTMV with the PT stenosis is proposed.

[New biological vascular prosthesis made of avian trachea]. / Novyi biologicheskii sosudistyi protez iz trakhei ptitsy.

New biologic prosthesis of the arterial vessels manufactured of the bird trachea was elaborated and approved upon the test bench and experimental conditions. Sufficient mechanical durability and elasticity of the prosthesis was ascertained, alike the possibility of his application for the arterial vessels replacement. New bioprosthesis have such advantages as handiness at work, steadiness for twist and deformation, negligible thrombogenicity, relatively high endothelialization speed, functioning stability and nonreactivity.
