Background. In conditions of permanent progress in the quality of surgical care in various areas of surgery, it is very important to allow patients themselves to evaluate provided treatment. Aims: this paper analyzes the quality of life in individuals with acute lower limb ischemia who have undergone lower limb revascularization surgery. Materials and methods. An assessment of the quality of life of 122 patients with acute lower limb ischemia (ALI) of II degree who were treated at the Moscow Сity Сlinical Hospital оf S.S. Yudin from 2016 to 2018 (average age 72.1 14.7 years) was performed. The quality of life was assessed using the medical Outcomes Study-Short Form (MOS SF-36) quality of life assessment methodology. Results. When assessing the quality of life of patients, it was found that the psychological and physical components of patients health are significantly affected by the angiotropic effect of the affecting factor associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus. 1 month after surgical restoration of blood flow against the background of the initial embolism, 83.6% of the respondents who did not suffer from diabetes noted a persistent improvement in their General condition and quality of life. Conclusion. This method of assessing the quality of life after surgical restoration of blood flow in patients with acute lower limb ischemia can be used in angiosurgical practice and clearly reflects of patient satisfaction with the treatment.

Today, there are several approaches to the treatment of critical lower limb ischemia (KINK). However, despite the high clinical effectiveness achieved, it is not always possible to achieve a high quality of life for the patient after surgery. This article presents modern aspects of surgical treatment of KINK and assesses the quality of life of patients depending on the type of intervention (literature review).

Background: Chronic lower limb ischemia is a dreadful disease and may present with intermittent claudication, rest pain and ischemic gangrene. Apart from life style modification and treating risk factors either angioplasty and stenting or surgical bypass are the mainstay of treatment. For infrainguinal bypasses reversed saphenous venous grafts are the conduits of choice because it is autologous , and have good patency rate. Endarterectomy is used in vessels of large caliber and may be added to bypass procedure.Objective: To study the outcome of surgical revascularization of the lower limb for chronic ischemia using reversed saphenous venous grafts.Methods: Thirty five cases of lower limb bypass surgery using reversed saphenous vein grafts were done for critical chronic lower limb ischemia from January, 2004 to December, 2008 and were analyzed for clinical success. The clinical success was defined as freedom from symptoms, avoidance of further revascularization, surgical or interventional or freedom from further amputation. The bypass procedures were femoro-popliteal, femoro-distal, femoral endarterectomy plus bypass, profundoplasty plus bypass. Data were collected, analyzed and results were recorded before discharge from the hospital, at 3 months, at 6 months and thereafter yearly follow up for up to 3 years.Results: The age range was 55 to 72 years (mean 62.34± 05.98 SD), 30 cases were male, 5 cases were female, all male patients were chronic smokers, 28 cases were diabetic, and 26 cases were hypertensive. Altogether 48 procedures were done, femoro-popliteal bypass were done in 30 cases, femoro-distal bypass were done in 7 cases (distal anastomotic sites were anterior tibial, posterior tibial or arteria dorsalis pedis), 9 cases had common femoral endarterectomy after which femoro-popliteal bypass were done, profundoplasty with femoro-popliteal bypass were done in 2 cases, 10 patient had to undergo either toe or transmetatarsal amputation. Three cases were subjected to below knee amputation at 2 to 3 years follow up due to recurrent ischemic rest pain with patchy gangrene. These were patients with femoral endarterectomy cases. The patency rate of grafts at 3 years was 65% for femoro-popliteal, 60% for femoro-distal, 57% for femoral endarterectomy with bypass and 58% for profundoplasty with bypass procedure.Conclusion: The graft patency rate and limb salvage rate for infrainguinal bypass procedure using reversed saphenous vein graft were quite satisfactory. Cessation of smoking, anti platelet and lipid lowering drug therapy, daily brisk walking for one hour and lifestyle modification improved the claudication distance and saved the limb and life in the study population.

Occlusion of terminal aorta is mostly often caused by atherosclerosis and the development of lower limb ischemia requires prompt treatment. In addition to the open aortic surgery recanalization and stenting can also be used. The article presents the first experience of endovascular treatment in patients with good immediate and mid-term results. This method is suitable to use in patients with contraindications to general anesthesia.
