An analysis of the surgical treatment of acute arterial trombosis of the extremities in 86 patients is presented. The causes of thrombosis were mainly obliterating atherosclerosis, artery trauma and postembolic occlusion. Best results of reconstructive operations were obtained in patients with postembolic occlusion of the arteries and their posttraumatic trombosis, worst results - in obliterating atherosclerosis. Thrombendarterectomy and autovenous shunts and prostheses were found to be the mos effective reconstructive operations.
