title: [The diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis in patients with atherosclerosis of the vessels].
abstract: As many as 988 patients with acute pancreatitis were given hospital treatment at the clinic of general surgery, its total duration being three years. Atherosclerosis of vessels was identified in 616 (62%). Difficulties with clinical diagnosis occurred in patients with moderately severe to severe degree of atherosclerosis (62%). Laparoscopy appeared to be undoubtedly superior to other diagnostic aids employed. Conservative therapy was found to be effective in 557 patients. Postoperative case mortality was 6 patients with destructive forms of pancreatitis.
