title: [Patients' self assessment of postop results after reconstructive surgeries on the femoral-popliteal segment of the arteries and their rehabilitation].
abstract: A comparative analysis of long-term results of reconstructive operations on the femoro-popliteal segment performed by different techniques was based on the assessment of the operation results made by the patients and their social rehabilitation after the operation. The operations of choice may be thought to be reconstruction with the application of transplants of velours dacron with a gelatin impregnation (VDGI), polytetraftoroethylene (PTFE) and autovein. Transplants of VDGI are found to be preferable. The long-term results of using PTFE transplants in the femoro-popliteal position were shown by the authors to be inferior to VDGI transplants. Since PTFE is much more expensive than dacron, the practice of so wide using this material should be revised. The authors believe that endarterectomy can not be considered to be the operation of choice for long-standing occlusions of the superficial femoral artery. They should be used but for critical ischemia of the extremity when trying to safe it if the transplants of VDGI and PTFE and good autovein are not available. The long-term results of using lavsan-ftorolon transplants in the femoro-popliteal position suggest that they should not be used in practice.
