[Haemorheological impairments following aortic surgery and methods of correction thereof].

The article deals with the findings concerning alterations in rheological properties of the blood in patients who endured aortic surgery with and without artificial circulation. Also shown herein is the contribution of the plasmatic and erythrocytic components to the development of haemorheological disorders in the postoperative period. To this was added the assessment of the role plasmapheresis plays in correction of impaired blood rheological properties, depending upon the terms of its carrying out and the type of a surgical intervention performed.
