Effect of reconstructive surgery on the blood flow in the extremities. Early and late results.

The effect of vascular reconstruction on limb blood flow was studied in 20 patients with arterial disease in the lower extremity. Blood flow was determined with isotope dilution technique, ankle systolic pressure was estimated with the aid of Doppler ultrasounds. Circulation was studied prior to the operation (i); immediately afterwards (ii); 2-4 months later (iii); and 12-20 months later (iv). In obliterative limb arterial disease blood flow had remarkably slowed down with high vascular resistance in the limb. After surgery blood flow reached almost normal level and vascular resistance in the extremity also decreased to normal. Both the O2 uptake by the extremital tissues and systolic perfusion pressure in the ankle increased after the operation. At a later phase of the postoperative period blood flow in the limb slightly decreased but even after a year it was greatly improved and vascular resistance was much less as compared to the state before reconstructive vascular surgery.

[Complications of aortoiliac surgery and their postoperative therapy].

Experience in early postoperative treatment of 249 patients who had been subjected to aortoiliacal vascular surgery is reported. The therapeutic principles are outlined and the complications are reviewed. For the prevention of infectious complications the patients are given antibiotic protection, are fed parenterally till passage starts and, to avoid threatening postoperative hypoxaemia in the case of more severe respiratory disorders, prophylactic respiratory therapy is applied, and small doses of heparin are administered to prevent thrombosis. Taking into consideration the high incidence of complications and the advanced age of the patients, it is important to keep these in the intensive ward during the early postoperative period.

The effect of isolated perfusion on limb circulation in peripheral arterial occlusion.

The effects of isolated limb perfusion were studied in 12 patients suffering from peripheral arterial occlusion. The hemodynamic investigations show that the vascular resistance decreases considerably during isolated limb perfusion. After administration of a vasodilator cocktail, added to the perfusion, the vascular resistance continues to decrease. Angiographic records, made before, during and after the perfusion, suggest that the calibre of the collateral vessels increases significantly and besides new collaterals can also be observed. The mechanism of the effects of isolated hyperbaric limb perfusion and its clinical value are discussed.

Development and treatment of false aneurysm following vascular intervention.

The development and treatment of false aneurysm after cardiovascular intervention is discussed. At the Cardiovascular Surgical Clinic of Semmelweis Medical University (Budapest) 6900 reconstruction operations were performed. Ninety-five false aneurysms were operated on. According to the cause leading to the complication the patients are classified into 8 groups. To treat the false aneurysm 14 types of operation were carried out. Operative mortality was 12.6 per cent, but the outcome was successful in 70 per cent of the patients. The technique of surgical treatment is described. A review of the literature is presented.
