[Temporary prosthetics of limb arteries in the acute period of shock-inducing trauma].

A retrospective analysis of treatment of 450 injured with traumas of the extremity vessels was made. These patients were subjected to reconstructive operations. In a considerable part of the patients there appeared thrombosis of the operated vessel. Experiments in dogs have shown that prophylactics of temporary prosthesis and injured artery should be based on the method of active treatment in order to eliminate the posttraumatic spasm of the arteries.
