[Endarterectomy of the superficial femoral artery using an oscillating loop].

A short series of half closed endarterectomies of superficial femoral artery with oscillating ringstripper is presented. The technique used is described, and major problems are discussed. Results are published and confrontated with the clinical events. Three criteria are withheld for indication of this procedure: the superficial femoral artery has to be completely occluded and not calcifiated; the popliteal artery has to be angiographically normal; two out of three arteries below knee have to be permeable. The authors advocate oral anticoagulation for a relatively long postoperative period.

[Beating-heart myocardial revascularization without extracorporeal circulation. Indications, technique and 1st results of a series of 98 cases].

The authors present a series of 98 aorta-coronary bypass procedures without the help of Extracorporeal Circulation. Indications and technique are detailed. There was no hospital mortality and short-term results are satisfactory. This technique, feasible in about 10% of all cases, should be considered especially in old patients, in case of chronic renal insufficiency and in redo surgery.
