[Remote results of surgical treatment of post-thrombophlebitic disease of the lower limbs].

An analysis of late results of surgery for thrombophlebitic affection is reported. 55 patients were examined in different terms (up to 7 years after reconstructive operative procedures). Favourable and satisfactory issues were gained in 44 of them Control phlebograms proved the patency of anastomosed and free grafted veins. The following operations are recommended for a wider clinical application: croos shunting, the femoral vein plasty with a free venous autograft, the construction of anastomoses between v. saphena magna and profound veins of the extremity. The need for reconstructive procedures that would be associated with the removal of pathologically changed subcutaneous veins and ligation of insufficient communicant veins of the leg and foot is emphasized.
