The methods of direct revascularization of the lower extremities in occlusive-stenotic lesion at the stage of severe ischemia were used in 144 patients. Of them in 35, simultaneously or with a several day interval, the ++roentgeno-endovascular dilatation (RED) in the several segments of the arterial bed was carried out, in 36--RED was performed in combination with 2-3 procedures of plasmapheresis, in 16 patients in occlusion to a large extent, the isolated balloon profundoplasty was performed, in 46 patients with total lesion of the vessels--isolated RED of the aorto-iliac segment. This contributed to increase in the effectiveness of the collateral blood flow in the vessels of the lower extremities. A high effectiveness of the methods employed was noted in follow-up of from 1 to 5 years. The indications for the use of RED and causes of failures are presented.
