    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1995; 154(1):54-7. PubMed ID: 7792994.
    Abstract:
    Experience with treatment of 410 patients with obliterating diseases of lower extremities arteries with the terminal stage of ischemia and occlusions of the femoro-popliteal segment have shown that successful results of small amputations can be obtained but against the background of complex treatment based on a thorough and comprehensive examination of the patient, and aimed at the recovery of adequate blood supply of distal parts of the extremity by operations of direct and indirect revascularization, normalization of microcirculation and struggle against infection. It allows performing amputation distal to the knee joint in 79.5% of cases, and to reduce the amount of postoperative complications in 38.8% of cases.
