[Surgical treatment of multiple occlusions of the aortic arch branches in atherosclerosis and nonspecific arteritis].
The authors analyse the experience with the treatment of 119 patients suffering from multiple occlusions of aortic arch branches in atherosclerosis and nonspecific arteritis. 394 vascular  injuries of the aortic arch were diagnosed in these cases. All the cases were divided into 4 groups in conformity with clinical manifestations of the disease. Operations aimed at the restoration of the blood flow in two and more branches of the aortic arch were performed on 60% of patients and in 98,3% of them the blood flow was restored. Total postoperative mortality was 16%. The long-term results were studied in 70 patients. The maintained blood flow in reconstructed vessels was found in 55 patients (78,6%). The authors came to the conclusion, that the reconstructive operation carried  out in case of multiple occlusions of the aortic arch branches, aimed at the simultaneous restoration of blood flow in 2 and more vessels, proved to be highly effective.
