[Characteristics of blood coagulation and of the red blood in patients with an arteriosclerotic lesion of the abdominal aorta].
The values of blood coagulation and red blood were studied in 74 patients with various forms of atherosclerotic affection of the abdominal aorta and its branches. Tendency towards hypercoagulation both before operation and in various periods after it was revealed in these patients. The development of thrombotic complications is preceded by a marked increase in the fibrinogen level and in the blood platelet count. High hematocrit with a relatively small erythrocyte count and hemoglobin concentration was revealed, which was linked with the spheric shape of the erythrocytes. It is concluded that a complex of antithrombotic therapy is necessary; it should be begun before the operation and continued particularly actively in the first two postoperative weeks.
