title: [Organizational principles of mass screening and therapeutic tactics in arterial/occlusive diseases of the lower extremities].
abstract: Determination of the ankle-shoulder index (ASI) was used in addition to clinical examination for the detection and monitoring of patients with obliterating arterial lesions of the legs. In individuals with suspected obliterating lesions, the ASI served as a criterion for the identification of normal, affected and high-risk groups and determined the strategy and duration of treatment and the follow-up schedule. ASI variation following surgery on arteries of the legs was an objective indicator of the efficiency of the operation and furnished indications for repeated surgical intervention to prevent reocclusion.
