The results of operation of revascularized osteotrepanation (ROT) in complex of treatment of 43 patients with chronic occlusion of the lower extremities arteries were analyzed. Stable clinical effect after application of ROT in patients with the ischemia II stage persisted during 40 months, III stage--25 months, "high" amputation of lower extremity in patients with IV stage ischemia was performed in 3.5-7 months. ROT is operation of choice in patients with distal form of ischemia of lower extremity, as well as while presence of contraindications for performance of reconstructive operation on main arteries.
