Celem tego artykułu jest przedstawienie bezpieczeństwa i doraźnych efektów rewaskularyzacji wewnątrznaczyniowej tętnic kończyn dolnych, które mogą stanowić ważny element opracowania optymalnej metody inwazyjnego leczenia przewlekłego niedokrwienia kończyn dolnych w kraju.  więcej »

Leczenie przewlekłego niedokrwienia kończyn dolnych (PAOD, peripheral arterial occlusive disease) jest uzależnione od zaawansowania niedokrwienia. W chromaniu przestankowym (IC, intermittent claudication) celem terapii jest zwiększenie komfortu życia pacjenta - nie ma przekonujących danych, by rewaskularyzacja zmieniała przeżycie kończyny. W krytycznym niedokrwieniu kończyn (CLI, critical limb ischemia) chodzi o uratowanie kończyny przed amputacją - okaleczeniem chorego i związanymi z tym wielostronnymi kosztami - społecznymi oraz kosztami systemu ubezpieczeniowego...

Treatment of the peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) depends on the severity of ischemia. In patient with intermittent claudication (IC) the primary goal is to improve the comfort of living - it has not been proved, that revascularisation increases the limb salvage rate. In critical limb ischemia (CLI) the aim is to save the limb - to avoid both the permanent disability of the patient and the costs related to amputation - social costs and the costs covered by the health insurance system...
