INDICATIONS FOR SURGICAL INTERVENTION

• brachiocephalic artery atherosclerosis (over 70% of the lumen) with concomitant diseases (diabetes mellitus, multifocal atherosclerosis, chronic obstructive lung diseases, renal insufficiency, benign arterial hypertension);
• progressive stenosis revealed during repeated examinations;
• heterogenous echonegative atheromatous plaques;
• cerebral blood circulation impairment associated with internal carotid artery tortuosity;
• problems of blood supply systems of the lower limbs that involve continuing tiredness, leg pain and fatigue even under moderate physical loads;
• leg swelling which does not answer to conservative therapy;
• trophic ulcers and other severe skin trauma;
• advanced stage of thrombophlebitis.

VASCULAR SURGERY PERFORMED AT THE RCMC

• Reparative operations on brachiocephalic arteries.
  One of the root causes of an ischemic stroke is artherosclerotic damage of brachiocephalic arteries (these are arteries that supply blood to the brain). In cases of constrictive lesions, we perform blood flow recovery operations.
  Surgical procedures are carried out under general anesthesia and with cerebral blood supply monitoring.
• Treatment of lower limb varicose vein disease.
  Lower limb varicose vein disease is one of the most prevalent pathologies. At our Center, we perform surgical procedures with the use of latest-generation laser equipment.
  Operations are performed using local anesthesia and under ultrasonic control. These are so-called “one-day” operations.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• acute cerebral blood circulation insufficiency or myocardial infarction (occurring less then tree months ago);
• instable cardiac angina;
• overall affliction of the distal blood stream which offers no possibility for corrective surgery;
• chronic diseases at the acute stage;
• advanced age of the patient.

PREPARATION FOR SURGERY INTERVENTION

• Laboratory tests: complete and biochemical blood assay, general urine test, blood coagulation test.
• Radiological studies: X-ray fluorogrpaphy;
• ECG.
• The consulting physician may appoint additional examinations.
