TREATMENT OF CRITICAL ISCHEMIA OF THE LEGS
Keywords:
critical ischemia, lower extremities, atherosclerosis, revascularization, angioplasty, stenting, bypass surgery, trophic ulcer.Abstract
a severe pathological condition that develops as a result of acute arterial circulatory disorders , which is associated with a high risk of amputation and disability. This disease often develops against the background of atherosclerosis and is manifested in patients by pain at rest, trophic ulcers and gangrene. The aim of the study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of modern conservative, endovascular and surgical methods in the treatment of critical lower limb ischemia. During the study, a comprehensive treatment approach was used in patients diagnosed with critical ischemia, and the results of treatment were analyzed. The results obtained showed that revascularization methods, in particular endovascular interventions (angioplasty and stenting) and surgical bypass operations, are highly effective in restoring blood flow. Also, complex treatment in combination with drug therapy helps to reduce pain syndrome, accelerate the healing of trophic ulcers and reduce the risk of amputation. This approach is an effective and promising direction in the treatment of critical lower limb ischemia .
