| Abstract: | A complex clinico-functional examination of 103 patients and invalids operated for obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels was carried out. Clinico-functional criteria for the assessment of the degree of chronic arterial insufficiency are proposed. The leading criterion of rehabilitation is found to be the degree of compensation of circulation. Complex application of the above methods in combination with clinical findings helps to make an objective assessment of the peripheral circulation state and of efficiency of the operation in remote periods of time. |
