title: [Prevention and prognosis of cardiac complications in patients following reconstruction of terminal aorta or lower limb arteries for atherosclerotic lesions].
abstract: The paper analyses several risk factors of cardiac postoperative complications in 284 patients with atherosclerosis of terminal aorta or lower limb arteries and correlation between preoperative management and intervention outcomes. Results of preoperative functional examination (transesophageal electric stimulation, echocardiography) and intraoperative monitoring of central hemodynamics were highly prognostic for cardiac complications. Causative analysis of cardiac complications enabled to develop a preventive strategy that has decreased the complication rate in 1.8 times.
