title: [Determining the level of leg amputation in patients with occlusive diseases of peripheral arteries by the method of transcutaneous measurement of oxygen tension].
abstract: The method of noninvasive percutaneous measurement of arterial blood pO2 was used to determine the rational level of amputation in 45 patients with occlusive diseases of the arteries of the lower limbs. The measurement was made on different levels of the limb before and after amputation. A marked dependence was revealed between the clinical course of the disease, the optimum level of limb amputation, and the pO2 value determined by the percutaneous method, which allows the noninvasive method of percutaneous pO2 measurement to be recommended for choosing the correct level of amputation in the clinic.
