Atherosclerosis, vascular wall, aortoarteritis, abdominal aorta, duplex scanning, xanthoma, xanthelasma.Abstract
Leriche’s syndrome is an occlusion of the bifurcation of the aorta and the initial sections of the common iliac arteries, which causes chronic ischemia of the pelvic organs and lower extremities. The disease is manifested by high intermittent claudication, ischemic lesions of the tissues of the legs. Men can have impotence. Diagnosis of the syndrome involves ultrasound of the aorta and vessels extending from it, aortography, assessment of the lipid profile and coagulogram. Conservative treatment is prescribed in the early stages of the disease. Surgical methods include reconstructive aortic plasty, aortofemoral bypass, lumbar sympathectomy.
