Arterialization of the hand venous system in patients with critical ischemia and thrombangiitis obliterans.
The lesion of distal arteries in patients with thrombangiitis obliterans happened to looking for nondirect methods of blood supply improvement of the involved limb - transplantation of omental pedicle, arterialization of veins, thoracic sympathectomy, etc. From 1986 in the Department of vascular surgery of A. V. Vishnevsky Institute of Surgery we use method of arterialization of the venous system in patients with critical lower limb ischemia of differ etiology. Practically at the same time we applied this operation for patients with critical upper limb ischemia and thrombangiitis obliterans. In this paper we present our successful experience of 5 operations - arterialization of the hand venous system in 4 patients with thrombangiitis obliterans and critical upper limb ischemia. We reviewed in details the technique of performance of arterialization of the hand venous system and studied the long-term results of the treatment.
