THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE

Abstract

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.
