title: [Errors, hazards and complications in treating acute obstruction of the aorta and major arteries of the extremities].
abstract: Errors made at various stages of the treatment of patients with acute thrombosis and embolism of the aorta and major arteries of the extremities were determined from the analysis of 476 clinical observations. Insufficient orientation of physicians in the problems of acute pathologic conditions of the vessels was the main cause of the errors at the prehospital stage. At the stage of specialized treatment, assessment of the degree of ischemia of the extremity, the severity of the patient's condition, and the viability of the extremity proved most difficult.
