title: [Surgical tactics in combined lesions of the aortic arch and its thoraco-abdominal segments in nonspecific aortoarteritis].
abstract: Seventy-one patients with unspecific aortoarteritis and affections of the aortic arch and its thoracoabdominal segment were treated in the period between 1984 and 1989. All the examined patients had different variants of affection of the brachiocephalic arteries, in 57 (80.3%) of them there was a coexistent affection of the thoracoabdominal segment of the aorta, and in 14 (18.7%) coexistent affection of the abdominal aorta and the lower limb arteries. Operations were conducted on 56 (78.8%) patients. Reconstruction of the brachiocephalic arteries was carried out in 12 (21.4%), of the thoracoabdominal segment of the aorta and the renal arteries in 30 (53.6%), and of the abdominal aorta and lower limb arteries in 9 (16.1%) cases. Five (8.9%) patients underwent two-stage correction of the blood flow in the branches of the arch of the aorta and its thoracoabdominal segment. The clinical picture, the volume of the affection, the methods of examination, and techniques and the results of reconstructive operations are described in detail. The authors present their point of view on the performance of surgical treatment in stages in coexistent lesions differing in volume.
