OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effectiveness and postoperative morbidity after endarterectomy from the iliac arteries in comparison with ilio-femoral and aorto-femoral replacement in patients with chronic critical lower limb ischemia.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

There were 95 patients with chronic critical lower limb ischemia. Iliac artery replacement was carried out in 43 (45.3%) patients, endarterectomy from the iliac arteries — in 52 (54.7%) cases. Trophic disorders on the lower extremities occurred in 36 (37.9%) patients.

RESULTS

Iliac artery replacement was accompanied by postoperative wound suppuration and infection of prosthesis in 3 (6.9%) patients, postoperative ventral hernia in 2 (4.7%) patients. The total number of complications specific for endarterectomy (iliac artery perforation — 1 (1.9%) patient, iliac artery thrombosis — 3 (5.8%) patients) was similar to the literature data. Successful endarterectomy was performed in 52 (88.1%) patients. Iliac segment patency was similar in both groups throughout a 12-month follow-up period.

CONCLUSION

Endarterectomy from the iliac arteries has some advantages over replacement and should be preferred for trophic complications on the lower extremities.
