[Early results of acute non-traumatic ischemia of the limbs].
The results of therapy of 726 patients with the acute non-traumatic ischemia of the limbs are discussed. These patients were treated in the 11 centres of vascular surgery in Poland between 1986 and 1988. Out of causes of the acute non-traumatic ischemia of the limbs arterial embolism was diagnosed in 450 patients, thrombosis in 229 cases, and dissecting aneurysm in 8 patients as well as phlegmasia coerulea dolens in 1 patient Surgical treatment included 665 patients, and the remaining 383 patients were treated conservatively. The results of the conservative and surgical treatment were scored with a 5-point scale. Excellent results with the return of complete functioning of the affected limb and presence of peripheral pulse were achieved in 291 patients, positive result, i.e. lack of the peripheral pulse, in 197 cases, moderate result in 80 patients in whom complete functioning of the limb has not been restored. In case of 64 patients an amputaion proved necessary. Nine four patients died.

[Suppurating lesions following surgical treatment of lower limb ischemia due to atherosclerosis].
Patients with suppurative lesions complicating surgical reconstruction of the arteries have been analysed. Such complications have been noted in 110 (102 men and 8 women) out of 311 operated patients. Considering the difference in the number of male and female patients, the risk of suppurative lesions complicating vascular surgery is proportional in both sexes. Thousand three hundred sixty six surgeries included: 361 recanalizations, 944 transplantations, and 61 arterial plasties. Percentage of suppurative complications ranged from 8.8% after transplantations to 9.8% after arterial plasties. More than one surgery has been performed in some patients. The risk of infectious complications has been higher in these patients. Despite antibiotic treatment suppurative infections have been noted in 108 (101 men and 7 women) out of 1244 operated patients, i.e. in 8.6%. Intravenous administration of antibiotics during surgery has proven the most effective prophylaxis. An infection of postoperative wound is the most severe local complication in vascular surgery. It has also been most frequent in the analysed group of patients, being 31.3% of all local complications.

[Assessment of late results in surgical treatment of lower limb ischemia in obliterative atheromatosis of the femoral-popliteal region].
The results of treatment of arterial incompetence localized in femoro-popliteal region in the selected 14 centres have been assessed after 24 and 60 months. Eight hundred fifty five patients were operated in the selected centres during 12 months i.e. 50% of all patients operated for obliterative atheromatosis of the lower limbs. Perioperative mortality rate was 4%. During a 5-year follow up, 30% of patients died, and 15% did not return supplied questionnaire, and their fate is unknown. The limb was preserved in 70% of patients operated with any technique except the primary amputation. Markedly worse results were noted in patients operated for necrosis or resting pain and in patients who underwent surgery which did not directly improve blood flow in the affected limb. The authors conclude that the most favourable results are produced by the implantation of vascular prosthesis during the period of intermittent claudication distance shortening before the development of resting pain or necrosis. Such operation are loaded with the lowest rate of failures and complications.

[Test for evaluating diagnostic discriminative function for assessment of blood supply to the lower limbs in patients with atherosclerosis].
Discriminative mathematical function was used for the classification of patients with atherosclerosis in the lower limbs. Considering 8 features of the blood supply to the lower limbs, 500 patients selected from the Polish centres of vascular surgery were classified according to the degree of ischemia. This mathematical analysis and classification proved to be comparable with clinical assessment. Described method is an example of the use of the mathematic tool which is particularly useful in the analysis of large groups of patients.
