    Abstract:
    The investigation included 120 patients who had undergone different revascularizing operations more than 10 years ago for obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels. Dyslipoproteidemia was diagnosed in 88 of them. It was established that in patients with dyslipoproteidemia the symptoms of ischemia of lower extremities were developed in younger age. Within 5 years after the first revascularizing operations there appear reliable differences in the course of the disease in patients with dyslipoproteidemia and normal levels of lipids in blood. More than 90% of patients with dyslipoproteidemia in the distant period of time have symptoms of generalized atherosclerosis, and the survival is mainly predetermined by cardiac and cerebral complications of atherosclerosis. The life of dyslipoproteidemia patients operated upon is 8 years shorter than of subjects with the normal-level of lipids in blood.
