An experience with the surgical and conservative treatment of 196 patients with acute thromboses and embolism of the extremity arteries in patients with arteriosclerotic and postinfarction cardiosclerosis has shown the conservative treatment of arterial embolism to have little effect. Results of the surgical treatment were regularly better in patients admitted to the hospital at earlier terms after acute occlusion of the vessel, with mild ischemia and the absence of a considerable atherosclerotic lesion of the extremity interrupting the major blood flow. For prophylactics of a repeated embolism of considerable significance were found to be correcting operations on the heart and the continuous anticoagulating therapy.
