[The treatment of acute lower limb ischemia].
In 1988-1997 297 patients were operated on acute limb ischemia. In 131 patients ischemia was caused by arterial embolism, in 144 patients by acute arterial thrombosis, in 20 patients by arterial trauma and in 2 patients acute aortic dissection. Acute limb ischemia causes 12.8% risk of death especially in elderly and when the reason for ischemia is acute occlusion of aortic bifurcation. The majority of patients with acute arterial thrombosis requires arterial reconstruction.
