[Surgical treatment of the brain ischemic disease].
There were examined 825 patients, in whom affection of extracranial arteries was revealed, including 340 (41.2%) men and 485 (58.8%) women, 27 to 73 years old. Atherosclerotic stenosis and occlusion of extracranial arteries was diagnosed in 305 (40.0%), pathologic kinking of vessels on atherosclerosis and hypertonic disease background--in 196 (23.8%), pathological kinking, caused by aortoarteriitis and fibrose--muscular displasia--in 197 (23.9%), hypoplasia of arteries--in 54 (6.5%), aortoarteriitis--in 73 (8.8%) patients. Stages I-IV ischemia together with proven affection of extracranial arteries served as indication for surgical treatment of chronic cerebro-vascular insufficiency. Depending on character of the arteries affection 11 kinds of operative interventions were conducted, using complex intraoperative program of the brain defense. Total number of reconstructive operations performed was 967. In 752 (91.2%) patients immediate good and satisfactory results were noted. In the late period 450 patients were examined: good results were achieved in 64.9%, satisfactory--in 22%, in 30 (6.7%) improvement did not occur and 28 (6.2%) died. Introduction of the proposed complex examination and surgical treatment program have permitted to improve the results of treatment of the patients, suffering chronic brain ischemia.
