  • Title: [Ways of lowering the level of amputation in decompensated ischemia of the lower extremities].
    Author: Lemenev VL, Svintradze RG, Kazakov ES, Koshelev IuM.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1989 Mar; (3):20-4. PubMed ID: 2724842.
    Abstract:
    From analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 127 patients with decompensation of circulation and gangrene of the lower limbs the authors substantiate the prospective character of revascularizing operations which lower the level of the amputation. Revascularization by means of reconstructive operations on the main arteries of the limbs makes it possible to not only lower the level of the amputation, but reduce considerably the lethality, the incidence of postoperative complications, and the degree of invalidation.
