title: [The use of vascular prothesis Gore Viabahn in the managment of the lower limbs ischemia].
abstract: The chronic lower limbs ischaemia is caused mainly by arteriosclerosis. After insufficient conservative treatment only the surgical intervention can salvage the limb. The revascularisation surgery can be performed by open surgery with implantation of the prosthetic bypass or by endovascular angioplasty with stent. This second method seems to be the best alternative for the patients with several concomitant systemic diseases. Nevertheless it is limited by presence of the long-distance arteriosclerotic lesions. The resolve of that problem is use of new generation of long endovascular covered stents. They can be succesfuly used in aorto-femoral and femoro-popliteal segment. Their efficiacy is simmilar to traditional prosthetic grafts.
