Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we investigated the clinical outcomes after gonadal vein resection (GVR) and gonadal vein embolization (GVE) with coils in patients with pelvic venous disorder (PeVD). We also assessed the rates of procedural complications and disease recurrence. METHODS Our multicenter retrospective cohort study included 361 female patients with PeVD-related chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and gonadal vein reflux who underwent GVR (n = 184) or GVE with coils (n = 177) from 1999 to 2020. The clinical outcomes (ie, presence and severity of CPP, procedural complications, disease recurrence) were assessed at 1 month and 1, 3, and 5 years after intervention. The pain intensity before and after treatment was assessed using a visual analog scale. All the patients underwent duplex ultrasound after GVR and GVE, and those with persistent CPP and suspected perforation of the gonadal vein by the coils were also evaluated by multiplanar pelvic venography. RESULTS GVR and GVE was associated with the reduction or elimination of CPP at 1 month after treatment in 100% and 74% of patients and postprocedural complications in 14% and 37% of patients, respectively (Р < 0.01 for both). The most common complication after either GVR or GVE was pelvic vein thrombosis (11% and 22% patients, respectively; P < .01 between groups). GVE was associated with postembolization syndrome in 20%, coil protrusion in 6%, and coil migration in 1% of patients. The long-term recurrence rate after GVR and GVE was 6% and 16%, respectively (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Both GVR and GVE were found to be effective in treating patients with PeVD. However, GVR was associated with better efficacy in the relief of CPP and lower rates of procedural complications and disease recurrence.

Abstract
It is estimated that more than 200 million people worldwide suffer peripheral artery disease and the rate of amputations remains at a high level. The basis of treatment is timely revascularization wherein the fraction of interventions performed endovascularly has steadily been growing both in Russia and abroad. Nevertheless, the parameters of long-term patency of endovascular reconstructions of the infrainguinal segment are still inferior to open interventions. In order to select an optimal method of revascularization and to predict the duration of patency of the reconstruction modern clinical guidelines suggest using the GLASS and WIfI scales, which may improve the remote results of the intervention. Moreover, modern paclitaxel-coated stents and balloons may help increase primary patency of the reconstruction after endovascular procedures. A not less important method of improving remote results of endovascular treatment of patients with peripheral artery disease is considered to be the use of contemporary regimens of antithrombotic therapy. The VOYAGER PAD trial showed that in patients with peripheral artery disease after endured revascularization of lower limbs rivaroxaban prescribed at a dose of 2.5 mg twice daily in a combination with conventional antithrombocytic therapy made it possible to decrease the risk of such ischaemic complications as acute limb ischaemia, major amputation, myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke and death of cardiovascular causes.

Abstract
Perfluorinated tetrathiacalix[4]arene was obtained by heating perfluoro-m-xylene with thiourea or 2,5-difluoro-4,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,3-dithiol at 90 °C. Interaction of perfluoro-m-xylene with resorcinol or orcinol under mild conditions and subsequent heating of the mixture with 2,5-difluoro-4,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,3-dithiol leads to polyfluorinated dioxadithiacalix[4]arenes. Triphenyl and pentaphenyl ethers formed by the interaction of perfluoro-m-xylene with resorcinol under heating with thiourea gives polyfluorinated oxathiacalixarenes containing six and five aromatic nuclei, respectively.

Abstract
We describe herein a case of surgical treatment of a 32-year-old female patient presenting with multilevel post-thrombotic occlusion of deep veins of the left lower limb. Laboratory study revealed high-risk hereditary thrombophilia (homozygous mutation of PAI-1, MTR, heterozygous mutation of MTHFR, MTRR, ITGA2). The first stage included endovenectomy from the common femoral vein with creation of an arteriovenous fistula between femoral vessels. An attempt of endovascular stenting of iliac veins was initially unsuccessful. After 3 months, the woman was rehospitalized to undergo successful endovascular operation with stenting of the iliac veins and common femoral artery on the background of the functioning arteriovenous fistula. The clinical outcome of the operation was good. Follow-up ultrasonographic examinations (ultrasound duplex scanning) were performed at 3, 6, 10 and 13 months after the second operation. The findings of ultrasound duplex scanning at 13 months showed that the stented segments of deep veins were freely patent, with the arteriovenous fistula functioning well. There were no signs of impairments of central haemodynamics, with significant regression of clinical symptoms. The total score by the Villalta scale as compared with the baseline values decreased from 13 to 5. Given the pattern of deep vein lesions, complexity of open and endovascular operations, and the presence of thrombophilia, we decided to abstain from disuniting the arteriovenous fistula. This case report demonstrates possibility, efficacy and safety of long functioning of an artificial arteriovenous fistula in a particular patient cohort.

Abstract
Presented in the article is a prospective study of endovascular embolization of ovarian veins in female patients suffering from primary pelvic varicose veins, with the assessment of the immediate and remote results, as well as a 1-year follow up. AIM The aim of our investigation was a comprehensive clinical and instrumental assessment of efficacy of endovascular embolization in women with pelvic varicose veins. PATIENTS AND METHODS Our single-centre study included a total of 29 female patients presenting with pelvic varicose veins and undergoing embolization of ovarian veins using microcoils, in 5 cases the procedure was supplemented with injecting a foam sclerosant. RESULTS The technical success of endovascular occlusion of ovarian veins amounted to 100%. Two women immediately after the operation were subjected to a redo intervention: in one case - resection of the ovarian vein and in the second case - repositioning of the microcoils. In the remote period, one patient due to recurrent relapses underwent repeat embolization followed by retroperitoneal resection of the ovarian vein. The findings of the clinical methods of examination demonstrated a decrease in the intensity of manifestations of pelvic varicose veins according to the pelvic venous clinical severity score and visual analogue scale, as well as improvement of the women's quality of life. CONCLUSION Endovascular occlusion of ovarian veins is a highly effective, minimally invasive, and safe method of treatment of female patients with incompetent ovarian veins. Endovascular treatment may be regarded as a method of choice in management of the primary form of pelvic varicose veins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-thrombotic iliac vein lesion is one of the causes of secondary pelvic varicose veins (PVV) in women. Endovascular treatment of this cohort of patients requires further studies. AIM The study was undertaken to investigate the aspects of endovascular treatment of female patients diagnosed as having PVV secondary to post-thrombotic alterations of the iliac veins. PATIENTS AND METHODS Presented herein are the results of diagnosis and treatment of nine women suffering from PVV in obstructive lesion of the iliac veins. All patients underwent phlebography with stenting of the iliac veins, followed by clinical and instrumental assessment of efficacy of treatment. RESULTS The technical success rate of stenting amounted to 100%. In the early postoperative period thrombotic complications developed in two women and in the remote period in one. The operation was followed by a decrease in the intensity of PVV manifestations, as well as chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs, which was confirmed by clinical and instrumental methods of objectification and visualization. The composite index of quality of life was noted to decrease from 47±5.3 to 27.8±3.3 points (p<0.05). The median of the composite value of the Pelvic Venous Clinical Severity Score decreased by 8.6±1.8 points (p<0.05). The average value of the composite index of the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) diminished by 6.8±1.4 points (p<0.05) and that of the Villalta score by 8.3±1.6 points (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Pelvic varicose veins appear to develop in two of three women after endured thrombosis. The experience with stenting of the iliac veins demonstrated good efficacy and safety. Efficiency of the intervention was determined by improved quality of life of the patients and positive dynamics of the clinical course of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Using assessment scales in clinical and research practice is one of fundamental reference methods of evaluation in human pathological states. Pelvic vein varicosity is an independent nosological entity within the framework of chronic vein diseases. Currently, the clinical methods of assessment in the aspect of a patient-oriented approach in this type of disease are largely understudied and still not duly defined. AIM The study was aimed at analyzing clinical outcomes of surgical treatment in the form of resection of the ovarian vein in female patients with pelvic varicose veins, based on the developed specialized scale of clinical assessment of disease severity. PATIENTS AND METHODS We carried out an open prospective study of efficacy of resection of the ovarian vein in 37 women with pelvic varicose veins. The main criterion for assessment was a clinical method of determining manifestations of the disease by means of the Pelvic Venous Clinical Severity Score. RESULTS According to the Pelvic Venous Clinical Severity Score, improvement of the condition was observed in 36 (97.3%) operated female patients and 1 (2.7%) woman turned out to have negative dynamics. The median of the composite score of the severity scale decreased form 11.78±5.06 points to 5.22±3.19 (p<0.05). The total positive gradient of the score amounted to 6.57±3 .65 points. A significant decrease in manifestations of severity was observed for 9 of the 10 clinical descriptors of the disease. CONCLUSION The use of the suggested scale in practical assessment of the results made it possible to prove high efficacy of resection of the ovarian vein in women with pelvic varicose veins in the form of decreased intensity of the disease's symptomatology. The VCSS is an easy-to-fill-in tool, taking up little time, ensuring no influence of the physician's personality on the answers, presenting quantitative expression of therapeutic results.

Abstract
The persistent sciatic artery is situated superficially in the gluteal region wherein it can be traumatized in normal daily activities: during a prolonged sitting position or while attempting to sit down. This leads to an early atherosclerotic lesion of the sciatic artery, to the development of aneurysmatic dilatation, and damage to the arterial wall. The present article describes a 72-year-old female patient presenting with a persistent sciatic artery of the left leg and a PSA aneurysm which consequently resulted in critical ischaemia of her left lower limb. This abnormality was detected during an examination and the woman was subjected to the operation of internal iliac-posterior tibial bypass grafting using an autologous vein with ligation of the sciatic artery. The bypass graft has been functioning for 5 months, with no events of critical ischaemia.

Abstract
Presented herein is an original method of preparing a bypass graft (a non-reversed autovein for femoropopliteal and femorotibial bypass grafting) and assessment of quality of valvulotomy using a thermal imager. The study included a total of 31 patients. All patients subdivided into 2 groups were subjected to bypass grafting operations with the use of a non-reversed autovein. In group 1 (n=16) prior to applying a bypass graft we assessed its patency with the use of an original method by means of a thermal imaging camera. In group 2 (n=15) assessment of graft patency after destruction of valves was not performed. In group 1 there were no bypass graft thromboses in the postoperative period, whereas three (20%) patients in group 2 developed bypass graft thrombosis within the first 24 postoperative hours, requiring repeat operation. Bypass graft thrombosis was caused in all cases by insufficiently destroyed valves of the venous transplant. There were no lethal outcomes within 1 year postoperatively. Control ultrasonographic examination after 1 year revealed bypass graft thrombosis in two (13.3%) patients in group 2, leading to the development of critical ischaemia and gangrene in one (6.6%) of these patients and later on requiring limb amputation at the level of the femur. A conclusion drawn is that thermal imaging makes it possible to intraoperatively assess quality of valvulotomy in using a non-reversed autovein as a bypass graft and to improve the results of surgical treatment.

Abstract
The problem of haemostasis in cardiovascular surgery is of current concern. Recent trends are towards increased use of topical haemostatic agents. Tachocomb has been used for more than 30 years in abdominal surgery and oncology. The purpose of the present publication is to analyse the literature data and formulate the indications for the use of Tachocomb in cardiovascular surgery. Multicenter randomized and local studies have demonstrated efficacy of Tachocomb in treatment of surgical haemorrhage in operations on the heart, thoracic aorta, carotid arteries and lower-limb arteries, resulting in significantly decreased time to achieve haemostasis, decreased volume of blood loss and haemotrasfusion, as well as reduced frequency of complications. Also shown was economic efficacy, including a shortened length of patients' hospital stay. This is followed by describing a wide spectrum of examples of alternative use of Tachocomb, including its use for seamless closure of defects of cardiac chamber walls, aero- and lymphostasis, prevention of formation of commissures. Convincing experimental and clinical results make it possible to formulate a series of indications for the use of Tachocomb in cardiovascular surgery.

Abstract
Contraction (retraction) of the blood clot is a part of the clotting process driven by activated platelets attached to fibrin that can potentially modulate the obstructiveness and integrity of thrombi. The aim of this work was to reveal the pathogenic importance of contraction of clots and thrombi in venous thromboembolism (VTE). We investigated the kinetics of clot contraction in the blood of 55 patients with VTE. In addition, we studied the ultrastructure of ex vivo venous thrombi as well as the morphology and functionality of isolated platelets. Thrombi from VTE patients contained compressed polyhedral erythrocytes, a marker for clot contraction in vivo. The extent and rate of contraction were reduced by twofold in clots from the blood of VTE patients compared with healthy controls. The contraction of clots from the blood of patients with pulmonary embolism was significantly impaired compared with that of those with isolated venous thrombosis, suggesting that less compacted thrombi are prone to embolization. The reduced ability of clots to contract correlated with continuous platelet activation followed by their partial refractoriness. Morphologically, 75% of platelets from VTE patients were spontaneously activated (with filopodia) compared with only 21% from healthy controls. At the same time, platelets from VTE patients showed a 1.4-fold reduction in activation markers expressed in response to chemical activation when compared with healthy individuals. The results obtained suggest that the impaired contraction of thrombi is an underappreciated pathogenic mechanism in VTE that may regulate the obstructiveness and embologenicity of venous thrombi.

Abstract
Haemostatic disorders play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute venous thrombosis. One of the least studied reactions of blood coagulation and thrombogenesis is spontaneous contraction of blood clots, which takes place at the expense of the contractility apparatus of activated blood platelets adhered to fibrin fibres. The work was aimed at studying the parameters of contraction of blood clots, formed in vitro, in blood of 41 patients with acute venous thromboses as compared with the same parameters in apparently healthy donors. We used a new instrumental method making it possible to determine the time from initiation to the beginning of contraction, as well as the degree and velocity of clot contraction. It was revealed that in patients with venous thrombosis the ability of clots to shrink was significantly reduced as compared with the control. We detected a statistically significant retardation of and decrease in of blood clot concentration in patients with venous thrombosis complicated by pulmonary artery thromboembolism as compared with contraction in patients with isolated deep vein thrombosis, witch may be important for early diagnosis and determination of the risk of thromboembolism. Besides, we revealed a statistically significant retardation of contraction in patients with proximal thrombosis as compared with contraction in patients with distal thrombosis, with similar values of the degree of contraction. Contraction was statistically significantly reduced in acute thrombosis (less than 21 days), whereas in subacute thrombosis (more than 21 days) the parameters of contraction were closer to normal values. The obtained findings suggest that reduction of blood clot contraction may be a new, hitherto unstudied pathogenetic mechanism deteriorating the course and outcome of venous thrombosis. The clinical significance of contraction and its impairments, as well as the diagnostic and prognostic value of the laboratory test for blood clot contraction would merit further study.

Abstract
Presented herein are the results of using Detralex in conservative treatment of women suffering from pelvic varicose veins. Our open prospective study included a total of 30 women with various forms of the course of the disease. All patients took Detralex prescribed at a daily dose of 1,000 mg for 60 days. Dynamic assessment of clinical manifestations of pelvic varicose veins in this cohort of patients was carried out with the help of a specialized quality-of-life questionnaire, an adapted clinical scale of determining disease severity, as well as a visual analogue scale for assessment of the main symptoms of the disease manifestations. The questionnaires and scales were filled in before the beginning of taking the drug and immediately after stopping it. The obtained findings objectively confirmed efficacy of conservative therapy in the majority of the responders. Reported was a decrease in the average index of quality of life from 46.77±13.25 to 36.87±8.53 points (p=0.001). The mean score of the clinical scale of disease severity regressed from 10.8±5.06 to 6.97±3.9 points (p=0.002). The average composite score for the degree of the main symptoms of the disease according to the visual analogue scale decreased from 32.9±21.26 to 19.16±16.04 points (p=0.006). We observed a dramatic decrease in severity of manifestations of the main clinical symptoms and improvement of quality of life of women on the background of taking the drug, thus suggesting its efficacy for the pathological condition concerned. The obtained results make it possible to recommend routine prescription of Detralex to all women with detected pelvic varicose veins as one of the main components of basic pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
AIM The study was aimed at assessing efficacy of open thrombectomy in acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2012 to December 2016, a total of 37 patients underwent transfemoral thrombectomy for acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis. The Control Group consisted of 24 patients receiving standard anticoagulant therapy. Six patients were subjected to a hybrid operation consisting in thrombectomy supplemented with stenting of the residual compression stenosis of the left common iliac vein (CIV). The outcomes of the operations were controlled by means of duplex scanning. Clinical efficacy of the operations was evaluated with the help of the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) and CEAP classification. RESULTS Patency of the iliofemoral segment at 6 months of follow up after thrombectomy was observed in 92% of patients. At the same time, in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy recanalization of the iliofemoral segment was observed in only 21% (5/24; χ2=31, p<0.01) of cases. Recanalization of the femoropopliteal segment 6 months after thrombectomy was noted to occur in 70% (23/33) of patients. The median of the composite index by the VCSS after 6 months decreased from 7 to 2 (p=0.002). The cumulative patency of the iliofemoral segment 36 months after surgery amounted to 86%. Clinical assessment of the remote results of thrombectomy according to the CEAP classification demonstrated that 90% (19/21) of patients were either free from or had weakly pronounced symptoms of post-thrombotic syndrome. CONCLUSION Performing thrombectomy for iliofemoral thrombosis by selective indications using modern methods of restoring patency of deep veins significantly increases efficacy of treating patients presenting with this severe pathology and prevents the development of pronounced manifestations of post-thrombotic syndrome.

Abstract
The study was aimed at bettering therapeutic outcomes in patients with acute arterial lower-limb insufficiency by means of improving the method of selective thrombolysis (STL). We analyzed both immediate and remote results of treating a total of 118 patients presenting with acute lower limb ischaemia of not more than grade 2B (according to I.I. Zatevakhin, 2002) within the terms up to 2 months from the onset of the disease. The Study Group patients (n=67) were subjected to STL and the Control Group patients (n=51) underwent standard open surgical interventions. The remote results of treatment were assessed within the terms up to 1 year in 38 patients of the Study Group and in 31 patients of the Control Group. The main criteria for efficacy of treatment were the incidence rate of amputation and mortality. In the immediate postoperative period in the Control Group, the frequency of amputations of lower limbs was more than 5-fold higher as compared with the Study Group (p<0.005); no significant differences on lethal outcomes were revealed (p>0.05). In the remote period of follow up, the incidence of amputations in the Study and Control Groups did not statistically differ (p>0.05), whereas mortality in Control Group was 4.3-fold higher as compared with the Study Group (p<0.05).

Abstract
Analysed herein are the results of examining and treating a total of 290 patients presenting with relapses of varicose disease, including 198 women and 92 men. The patients' age averaged 51.6 ± 8.7 years, with the mean term of the appearance of relapses after surgery amounting to 4.8 ± 1.4 years and that of reoperation - 11.1 ± 7.5 years. According to the CEAP classification, the patients were subdivided as follows: C2 - 36 (12.4 %), С3 - 117 (40.4 %), С4 - 103 (35.5 %), С5 - 20 (6.9 %), С6 - 14 (4.8 %). All patients underwent ultrasound duplex scanning. Relapses in the basin of the great saphenous vein were revealed in 205 (70.63 %) patients, in the basin of the small saphenous vein in 65 (22.4 %) subjects. Neoangiogenesis was observed in 62 (21.3 %) cases, pathological reflux from pelvic veins as a cause of relapses - in 31 (10.7 %) patients, varicosity-altered tributaries of the great and small saphenous veins, not connected with the pathological stump or unremoved trunk - in 52 (17.9 %) cases. Based on the results of diagnosis, treatment was carried out in 241 patients. 179 patients underwent various types of interventions, of these, 94 with the use of minimally invasive therapeutic technologies. 76 patients were subjected to different methods of phlebosclerosing treatment, of these 62 in outpatient conditions. The study showed negative influence of axial reflux along through deep veins on the appearance and course of varicose veins relapses. The remote results of treatment at terms from one year to 9 years (mean 4.9 ± 2.6 years) were studied in 76 patients. Good results were noted in 52 (68.5 %) patients, satisfactory outcomes were observed in 22 (28.9 %), and unsatisfactory results - in 2 (2.6 %) patients.

Abstract
The study was based on the findings of examination and treatment of fifty-four 19-to-55- year-old female patients (mean age 35.3 ± 7.3 years) presenting with varicosity of small pelvis veins. Of these, seventeen women with stenosis of the left renal vein were subjected to the following reconstructive operations on small pelvis veins: creating proximal ovarian-iliac anastomoses - 10 procedures, establishment of sapheno-ovarian anastomoses - 5 operations, one procedure of prosthetic repair of the left renal vein and one operation of transposition of the left renal vein. All interventions were completed with resection of the distal segments of the ovarian vein. A further 19 women with idiopathic reflux along the ovarian veins underwent uni- or bilateral embolization thereof, with multi-stage embolization of the branches of the internal iliac vein performed in one patient. The remaining eighteen endured the following interventions: unilateral resection of the left ovarian vein performed in twelve cases (3 endoscopic operations), bilateral resection in four cases (3 endoscopic resections). In seven cases the operations were supplemented with microphlebectomy of the varicosely altered perineal veins. Two patients underwent operations of crossectomy and resection of the pathologically altered internal pudendal vein. Five-year follow up showed that good-to-satisfactory results were obtained in 45 (83.3%) cases, with a disease relapse revealed in seven cases.

Abstract
From 2008 to 2009, we operated on a total often 40-to-54-year-old patients (eight women and two men). In four cases, avalvulation of the deep veins was congenital (primary) and in the remaining six instances, it was secondary to postthrombotic lesions of the valves with complete recanalization and pronounced vertical reflux along the deep veins. The distribution of the patients according to the CEAP classification was as followed: two patients were found to have grade C4b, seven patients were diagnosed with grade C5 and one patient suffered grade C6. All patients were subjected ultrasonographic duplex scanning. Four patients required additional procedures following aortic repair. Retrograde phlebography performed in all the patients revealed that all had grade 4 pathological reflux according to R. Kistner's classification. Nine patients had a history of previously performed interventions on the superficial and perforating veins. The operation was indicated in severe forms of chronic venous insufficiency and failure of conventional methods of surgical and conservative treatment. The formation of a multi-flap valve of the common femoral vein was carried out according to an original technique suggested by J. C. Opie (2008). Clinical improvement (i.e., pain syndrome relief, decreased oedemas, lowered degree of trophic disorders in crural soft tissue, permanent healing of trophic ulcers) was observed in eight (80%) patients. According to the VCSS scale, we registered a significant decrease in intensity of manifestations of chronic venous insufficiency along all parameters. The integrated index decreased from 7.53 +/- 0.54 to 4.33 +/- 0.42 (chi2 = 4.67; p < 0.01). The malleolar volume decreased from 271.1 +/- 4.7 to 231.5 +/- 5.7 mm (chi2 = 7.17; P < 0.001). Pathological reflux of blood was corrected in all patients within the follow-up terms amounting to 8 months. No thrombotic complications were observed.

Abstract
The authors analysed a total of 152 surgical interventions on the brachiocephalic arteries (BCAs) performed in 142 patients. All the patients were subjected to intraoperative monitoring of cerebral haemodynamics by means of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography simultaneously accompanied by electroencephalography (EEG). Additionally, the state of the reconstructed carotid arteries was controlled by means of ultrasonographic duplex scanning (USDS). Comparing the findings of the TCD recording and EEG made it possible to single out 5 groups of the operated patients. The EEG technique turned out to have more informative value as compared with TCD ultrasonography in determining the degree of cerebral ischaemia during clamping of the carotid arteries (CAs). Nine (5.9%) patients demonstrated lower tolerance of the brain to ischaemia, and the operation on the BCA was performed with the use of a temporal intraluminal bypass graft. Microembolic signals (MES) were registered in 54.6% of cases. Single MES were detected in six patients, sporadic MES--in 53, and multiple MES--in 24. Mention should be made that the--MES associated with the placement of the bypass graft appeared to be multiple and were registered in all the operated patients. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance tomography revealed fresh foci of lacunar cerebral infarctions in 14 (25%) of the 56 patients thus examined. Intraoperative USDS of the reconstructed carotid arteries revealed floatation of the residual remnants of the intima in two patients, which was the cause of a repeat intervention. Combined monitoring of cerebral haemodynamics makes it possible to timely prevent cerebral ischaemia, to narrow the indications for placement of an intraluminal bypass graft, and to dramatically decrease the rate of postoperative complications.

Abstract
The authors share herein their first experience gained in stenting for stenosing and occlusive lesions of the iliac-femoral segment veins, reporting the outcomes of treating a total of thirteen patients subjected to balloon angioplasty and stenting of iliac veins for chronic venous obstruction. While treating non-thrombotic venous lesions, stenting was successfully performed in 100% of the patients concerned. Inpost-thrombotic lesions therapeutic outcomes were successful in 9 (75%) patients. No immediate postoperative complications were observed. The remote results were followed up in eleven out of the 13 patients. Patency within the terms up to 16 months amounted to 81.1%. Clinical improvement was noted in 12 (92.3%) patients. According to the VCSS scale, there was a reliable decrease in the intensity of chronic venous insufficiency manifestations along all parameters. The integral index decreased from 6.56+/-0.71 to 4.45+/-0.65 (t=3.82, p<0.002). The malleolar volume decreased from 275.3+/-6.7 to 241.6+/-6.1mm (t=12.3, p<0.001). Hence, angioplasty and stent-grafting of iliofemoral veins turned out to be a minimally invasive, safe, and highly efficient therapeutic modality. The efficacy of the procedure was confirmed by a considerable improvement of the limb's condition and good remote results concerning patency of the reconstructed segments of the venous bed. Endovascular methods may be considered as a promising modality of treatment for this patient cohort.

Abstract
In order to work out the indications for surgical and endovascular treatment of floating thromboses in the system of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and to evaluate the therapeutic outcomes obtained we examined a total of one hundred and forty-five 17-to-85-year-old patients presenting with acute thrombosis in the system of the IVC. Of these, floating thromboses were revealed in ninety-five patients. The most frequently encountered localization of the floating thrombus was the common femoral vein (CFV). In 77 patients, thrombosis originatedfrom the femoral vein (FV), and in 12 instances -from the saphenofemoral junction. The signs of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) were diagnosed in 22 cases. Instrumental studies included ultrasonographic duplex scanning (USDS), roentgenopaque and computer-assisted phlebography, and perfusion-mediated scintigraphy of the lungs. Thrombectomy from the common iliac vein (CIV), external iliac vein (EIV) and common femoral vein (CFV) with resection of the femoral vein was performed in forty-seven patients; of these, the procedure was combined with establishing a temporal proximal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in sixteen subjects. The femoral vein was resected in nineteen instances. Thrombectomy form the IVC with the help of the "TREKS" device was carried out in six patients. Cava filters were implanted in a total of eighty-four patients. Of these, ten devices were intended and had to be 3 left for permanent implantation, with the remaining seventy-four patients having received retrievable ones. Rethromboses in the early postoperative period were observed to occur in four patients. The patients with the AVFs applied had no thromboses. PTE occurred in four patients, with one lethal outcome. Another patient died due to myocardial infarction. Temporary cava filters were successfully retrieved in sixty-eight patients within the terms from 10 to 56 postoperative days long-term results up to 2 years were followed up for thirty-eight patients, with good outcomes noted in twenty-six cases, satisfactory in ten, and poor results seen in two patients. An active therapeutic policy pursued in management of floating embolus-hazardous thromboses is the only efficient measure making it possible to reliably prevent the development of both PTE and post-thrombotic disease.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of using a mini-approach in surgery of carotid arteries. From September 2006 to December 2007, one hundred and twenty-nine patients (with a total of 139 operations sustained) underwent interventions on the carotid bifurcation for atherosclerotic lesions and pathological tortuosity of the carotid arteries. The patients were subdivided into two groups. Group A consisted of those operated on from the standard access to the carotid arteries, with Group B comprising the patients undergoing interventions on the carotid bifurcation from a mini-approach (a cutaneous incision less than 5 cm long, averaging 4.7 +/- 0.3 cm). The control Group C was composed of forty-two patients having endured operations on the carotid arteries from the conventional access performed at other specialised departments. In the patient groups referred to above, we compared the incidence rate of perioperative complications (stroke/death), lesions of the cranial and cervical nerves, as well as wound complications. In Group A patients, there were two patients with stroke, one of whom had eventually died. Neuropathies of the cranial and cervical nerves in this group of patients were observed to have developed in eight (6.2%) and ninety-two (71.3%) cases, respectively, and in Group C patients--in eleven (28.0%) cases. Cervical haematoma was observed in fourteen (10.9%) subjects. The average duration of the postoperative hospital stay amounted to 6.8 +/- 1.1 days. Amongst the Group B patients, cervical haematoma was noted in two (3.2%, P<0.0001) cases only. A lesion of the cranial nerves (that of the superior laryngeal nerve) took place in two patients (P<0.0001), and that of the cervical nerves--in four patients (P<0.0001). No cheloid cicatrices were observed. The patients reported excellent and aesthetically pleasing surgical outcomes. The average duration of the postoperative hospital stay amounted to 2.8 +/- 0.69 days (P = 0.002). Hence, operations on the carotid bifurcation may be successfully performed from a mini-approach, with thus discomfort kept at a minimum and rapid rehabilitation of patients.

Abstract
The article deals with a new method of diagnosis of venous thromboses, which is based on ultrasonographic scanning of the area of the valvular sinuses of the femoral vein. The authors examined a total of two hundred and forty-nine people; of these, 100 patients were diagnosed as having varicose disease, 99 subjects had acute venous thrombosis, and 50 people constituted the control group. All the patients were examined by means of ultrasonographic angioscanning, and also had the D-dimer level measured in them. The carried out study resulted in a description of an ultrasonographic phenomenon consisting in the presence of echo-positive inclusions within the area of the valvular sinuses, which was called the sludge phenomenon. The authors developed a classification of this phenomenon, describing three degrees of sludge. Degree 1 sludge is a physiological one and reflects the fact that the area of the valvular sinuses is the most thrombogenic zone. Degree 2 sludge is characterized as a pathological one, being indicative of the presence of a prethrombotic condition and may serve as one of the earliest prognostic factors for the development of venous thrombosis. Degree 3 sludge reflects thrombosis of the valvular sinus. The carried out studies made it possible to reveal a correlation between the presence of a sludge, its degree, the presence of a venous thrombosis, and the values of the D-dimer level.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the work was to assess the diagnostic significance of combined bolus magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and two-dimensional time-of-flight MRA of lower limb arteries as compared to radioangiography in patients with occlusive diseases of lower limb arteries. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-six patients with the symptoms of lower limb ischemia of varying severity were provided bolus MRA with prolonged manual injection of contrast substance and transposition of the MR-tomograph table. Additionally, all the patients underwent two-dimensional time-of-flight (2D TOF) MRA of the leg arteries. RESULTS The statistic processing of bolus MSA for visualization of the pelvic segment has demonstrated its high sensitivity and specificity (97.74% and 92.31% respectively). On visualization of the femoral artery segment the sensitivity of this modality accounted for 97.57%, the specificity for 94.57%. In patients with severe ischemia, visualization of the leg arteries was difficult. Consequently, the specificity of the modality accounted for 44.58%. However, when this technique was combined with two-dimensional time-of-flight MRA of the leg arteries, the sensitivity and specificity of the modality reached 96.38% and 91.92% respectively. CONCLUSION Bolus MRA of lower limb arteries is marked by the high sensitivity and specificity for visualization of the arteries of the iliac and femoral segments. To visualize the leg arteries in patients with severe forms of lower limb ischemia, this modality should be supplemented by two-dimensional time-of-flight MRA.

Abstract
The aim of the present work was to study the causes of post-operative recurrences of varicosity and to define approaches to their optimal correction. Duplex scanning (DS) with Color Doppler Imaging of the blood flow was used to examine 126 patients (136 extremities) with recurrences of varicosity. The patients were distributed according to the CEAP clinical classification. Altogether 76 patients (78) extremities with recurrences of varicosity were operated on. 27 persons received different variants of sclerotherapy including echoscleroobliteration. According to the DS data, the most frequently obtained finding in patients with recurrences of varicosity was identification of the perforating veins with valvular insufficiency, namely in 120 (or in 88.2%) extremities. The long stump of the greater saphenous vein (CSV) was discovered in 86 (63.2%) extremities, the long stump of the lesser saphenous vein (LSV) in 6 (4.4%), ectasia of LSV trunk was recognised in 20 (14.5%), incompetence of the valves of the sural veins in 12 (8.8%) extremities. Incompetence of the valves of the deep veins was present in 73 (53.6%) patients. No sources of pathological veno-venous runoff were identified in 12 (8.1%) cases. A good agreement was established between the incidence of valvular incompetence of the deep veins and the disease severity. The indications for surgical correction of valvular insufficiency were worked out. It has been demonstrated that sclero-obliteration is the method of choice in the treatment of the recurrences of varices. The long-term results of operations for recurrences of varicosity were followed up in 62 patients over the period of one to 15 years. Good and satisfactory results were obtained in 60 (96.8%) cases. The authors believe that the majority of varicosity recurrences arise from an inadequate assessment of the status of lower extremity venous bed as well as from technical and methodological faults of the operating surgeon. DS in an indispensable component of preoperative examination of patients with varicosity recurrences.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine the duplex scanning (BS) potential for the evaluation of the results of reconstructive operations for postthrombotic disease. We examined 89 patients who underwent different reconstructions on the deep veins of the lower extremities. The operations included crossover vein graft in unilateral occlusions of the iliac veins (36 patients), bypass grafting in occlusion of the femoral and popliteal veins (12), transposition (23) and autotransplantation (18) of the venous segments containing good valves in recapitalization of the deep great veins. Ultrasound diagnosis of the patency of the veno-venous grafts and function of the transposed or transplanted valves had an accuracy of 100%. DS has been demonstrated to compare very favourably with contrast phlebography. We present the functional characteristics of the blood flow in the veno-venous bypasses when the patient is in the horizontal and vertical positions at rest and under conditions of hydrodynamic provocation of the retrograde blood flow at Valsalva's test, compression tests and of the antegrade blood flow at physical exercise. The tests which upgrade the effectiveness of ultrasonography have been worked out. The morphological variants of lesion of the transplanted venous valve cusps have been established. It is demonstrated that the main cause of valvular incompetence of autotransplants lies in supravalvular (sinusoidal) thrombosis which develops in the early postoperative time, thereby giving rise to the block of the cusps of a transplanted valve. The data on the hemodynamics of venous autotransplants, obtained in the course of the study enable one to select an optimal variant of reconstructive operation, to delineate the postoperative treatment policy and to predict the results of surgical intervention.

Abstract
Combined atherosclerotic involvement of the brachiocephalic arteries (BCA) and lower limb arteries has been analysed in 107 patients (56 females and 51 males) with a verified diagnosis of ischemic heart disease (IHD). BCA atherosclerosis was detected in 83.9% females and 93.1% males. 75.8% examinees had no murmur. It is suggested that arterial hypertension and obesity in females with IHD may be risk factors of BCA kinking. Frequency of combined affection of extracranial arteries and lower limb arteries reached 23.2% females and 96% males. Therefore, it is necessary to screen these arteries for atherosclerosis in all IHD patients.
