[The treatment of posttraumatic and true arterial aneurysms of the extremities]

Abstract

The work presents an analysis of the nearest results of treatment of 82 patients with pulsating hematomas, false and true aneurysms of the upper and lower extremity vessels depending on the kond of the pulsating formation, variants of complications in the course of disease, the level and size of defects of the vessel as well as of the state of the distal bed. Most optimum operations are those with using autovenous transplants, patients with false aneurysms excluded. In all the operated patients the adequate blood circulation was restored and the extremity was saved.
