title: [Possibility of operative treatment of geriatric patients with critical lower limb ischemia].
abstract: The experience of treating 106 patients of 70+ years shows the possibility of successful vascular reconstructive procedures with good immediate and long-term results, even in the presence of critical limb ischemia and severe comorbidity in geriatric patients, if not guided by the principle of maximum revascularization of the affected limbs, and minimally sufficient, through a wide use of atypical and small renovations. In addition, not only comprehensive assessment of the reserve and compensatory capacities of the patients is important, but also preoperative prevention of cardiac, pulmonary and other complications.
