An aorto-oesophageal fistula is a rare but life-threatening pathological condition developing on the background of diseases of the aorta and oesophagus, as well as after surgical interventions on the aorta. The article deals with a clinical case report regarding management of a patient presenting with an aorto-oesophageal fistula resulting from a thoracic artery aneurysm. The main clinical manifestations of the diseases included dysphagia (due to oesophageal obstruction caused by thrombotic masses of the aneurysm) and the occurring gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Comprehensive instrumental diagnosis was performed using roentgen examination of the oesophagus, oesophagoscopy, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest. The obtained findings made it possible to objectively assess the patient's state, to carry out timely treatment in conditions of a surgical hospital, and to avoid severe complications.The article deals with the results of successful surgical management of a male patient with a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm, posing particular problems as to deciding upon the scope and stages of surgical reconstruction, accompanied by describing the dynamics of clinical and diagnostic parameters, as well as the main events of the postoperative period. This clinical case report was characterized by additional difficulties due to the occurrence of subtotal haemothorax. Rolipram Also presented herein is a set of comprehensive measures making it possible to successfully complete open reconstruction of the thoracic portion of the aorta and to achieve a satisfactory outcome both during the in-hospital period and within one-year follow up. Besides, elucidated is the state-of-the-art of this problem in the world literature.A surgical intervention for type A acute aortic dissection is the only effective method of treatment making it possible to prevent the development of life-threatening complications and to attain clinical recovery of the patient. Supracoronary replacement of the ascending aorta and the proximal portion of the aortic arch is considered to be the classical and most commonly used method of an open operative intervention. On the one hand, it is technically the simplest and shortest operation, and on the other, this surgical technique is often accompanied by long-term proximal and distal complications, and first of all those caused by a persistent false lumen. The accumulated surgical experience and contemporary operative techniques, as well as advances of intensive therapy in treatment of type A acute aortic dissection make it possible to currently perform more extensive primary resections in order to improve the remote results. Total aortic arch replacement, including the use of the 'frozen elephant trunk' technique leads to fast thrombosis of the false lumen, preventing progression of the disease of the thoracic aorta and promoting its positive remodelling. The article describes the perioperative therapeutic policy accepted and pursued in our medical facility, also presenting the authors' opinion on the role and place of the 'frozen elephant trunk' technique in rendering medical care for patients with type A acute aortic dissection.Presented herein is a clinical case report regarding successful treatment of a trophic ulcer of the right tibia by means of endovenous mechanochemical ablation of the great saphenous vein using the FlebogrifTM device. According to ultrasonography findings, the patient was found to have insufficiency of the saphenofemoral junction, axial truncal reflux, and the absence of incompetent perforator veins in the area of trophic disorders. Taking into account the clinical and ultrasound picture of the disease, the decision was made on the feasibility of performing crossectomy and retrograde mechanochemical ablation of the great saphenous vein. The chosen modality of the invasive intervention did not require tumescent anesthesia, allowed a catheter to be placed under the ulcer bed and, unlike thermal methods, excluded the risk of damage to the subcutaneous nerves and soft tissues. The operation made it possible to eliminate pathological truncal reflux along the entire length, which contributed to rapid healing of the trophic ulcer, relief of varicose disease symptoms, and significant improvement of the patient's quality of life. This clinical case report indicates the possibility of application of retrograde endovenous mechanochemical ablation in a patient with varicose disease, axial reflux and open venous ulcer (C6) and warrants further research in this direction.Lower extremity chronic venous disease is a highly prevalent vascular pathology. Progression of the disease exerts a negative impact on the patients' quality of life and imposes a large economic burden on the healthcare systems. Conventional methods of conservative treatment of chronic venous disease include wearing compression knitwear and pharmacological therapy. Although highly effective, compression therapy appears to be associated with lower compliance due to difficulties putting on and taking off the compression stockings. Therefore, the majority of patients prefer pharmacological therapy with phlebotonic drugs. There are many phlebotropic agents possessing particular indications and recommendations regarding the duration of administration. This article presents a review of the available literature addressing the problems related to prescription of pharmacotherapy to patients with lower limb chronic venous disease, also describing the results of published clinical studies evaluating efficacy and safety of phlebotropic drugs, as well as those concerning the duration of the course administration of drugs depending on the severity of the disease, invasive nature of a surgical intervention performed, or sclerotherapy. Besides, analysed is the role of phleboactive agents in correction of pathophysiological mechanisms of the development and progression of venous disease. This is followed by a review of clinical trials studying the influence of phlebotonics on such links of pathogenesis as leukocyte activation, vein-specific inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and activation of proteolytic enzymes promoting destruction of the extracellular matrix. Based on the above data, proposed herein are appropriate approaches to determining the duration of the courses of phlebotropic therapy with due regard for the patients' status, underlying once again the importance and necessity of a personalized approach to selection of the optimal duration of venotonic therapy.
