[Surgical reconstructive treatment of blood vessels in the popliteal region].

Severe occlusive disease frequently includes the popliteal artery and origin of the trifurcation vessels with reconstruction of one or more of the crural arteries. We made femorocrural bypass 23 times. Our indications for operation continue to be relief of pain or salvage of extremity. Of the 23 grafts during of one year period block recurred in 8 patients. Five times we made amputation and good results we had in 15 patients. In one patient we used Gore-tex prosthesis with succses in 4 month period.

[Anesthesia in surgery of the veins].

Patients with varicose complex of low extremities do not present any special problem in anaesthesiology. Method recommended is inhalational anaesthetic, eadly mobilisation of patient and infusion of low molecular dextran, during and immediately after operative procedure. During thrombectomy from deep venous system there is real danger of pulmonary embolism. This group of patients has higher risk than former, too. Authors recommended their own method for prevention of preoperative centripetal mobilization of thrombus, using a standard Recklinhausen's cuff inflated against abdominal wall under a plexiglass plate.
