[Acute occlusions of the intestinal arteries--diagnosis and surgical therapy].

Acute obstruction of arterial blood flow in digestive organs has been recorded from two per cent of all patients with acute abdominal disorders and has accounted for roughly eight per cent of all sudden vascular occlusions. Symptoms are generally occult and are quite often misinterpreted. This together with short warm ischaemia tolerance of the intestinal tract, somewhat between two and three hours, has continued to cause death of nearly 90 per cent of such patients. Bilateral retrospective studies were conducted into 66 patients with acute intestinal arterial occlusions over ten years and have confirmed the importance of early diagnosis and immediate surgical action. Particular emphasis should be laid, in that context, on adequate clinical diagnosis and reconstructive arterial surgery along with removal of avital intestinal sections. High mortality among the patients concerned can be substantially reduced by no-delay, thorough medical action.

[Results later many years after TEA in femoro-popliteal segment (author's transl)].

Our results later many years after 231 TEA in femoro-popliteal segment are based to examinate the indications of this reconstructive operation and to compare with other methods of arterial reconstruction. Resulted: the TEA is always a good method of biological worth without risk. This method authorized to indicate the reconstruction of chronical arterial occlusions. However the method is not to apply to all arterial occlusions without criticism only to selected patients.

[Late sequelae of rib fractures].

For an assessment of the late lesions after rib fractures 108 patients having had an accident between 1968 and 1973 were followed up. As to the individual signs observed, the patients were very heterogeneous. Radiodiagnostic, spirometric and scintigraphic data were compiled in order to characterize the late morphologic and functional lesions. By means of correlation and discrimination analyses as well as tests of significance we found that the extension of the late lesions depends either on the age of the patient nor on the number of fractured ribs but, instead, on concomitant intrathoracic lesions. The late morphologic lesions such as deformedly healed rib fractures and pleural thickening were the substrate for the ventilative and circulatory disturbances of the lung.

[Vascular reconstructive procedures in patients with chronic occlusive arterial diseases and diabetes mellitus (author's transl)].

97 diabetic patients of 734 patients with a chronic occlusive arterial disease were observed in the years from 1968 to 1974. It was established the operability of arterial occlusions are influenced by heaviness, duration and setting in the diabetes mellitus only a little. The indication to operate is determined by the three-points-regulation at the diabetic patients, too. Vascular reconstructive procedures were only possible at each of a second or third patient independent of diabetes mellitus. 28 vascular reconstructive procedures in the femoro-popliteal reach were made at 22 diabetic patients. The results were successful in more about than 80 per cent by explorations from 1 to 5 years after operations.

[The importance of drainage and the postoperative interval in truncal vagotomy for the prevention of stress ulcers in rats].

The effectiveness of truncal vagotomy to prevent stress ulcers was examined in rats. Truncal vagotomy protects safely from stress ulcer caused by immobilization. This protection continues for a longer postoperative period. After vagotomy, even repeated immobilizations cause no ulcer. There are no different results after truncal vagotomy with or without drainage operation.
