[Computed tomography in the diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism]. / O vozmozhnosti primeneniia komp'iuternoi tomografii v diagnostike tromboémbolii legochnoi arterii.

To verify the hypothetical diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism (RTE), 64 patients were provided CT of the chest organs with pulmonary artery opacification, Twenty-seven patients had thromboemboli in different parts of the vascular tree. In 9 patients, the thromboemboli were parietal, with flow preservation at the site of thromboembolus fixation, and in 18 patients, the emboli occluded the vascular lumen. In 11 patients with occlusion of the segmental and subsegmental arteries, the clinical course of RTE, in addition to acute cardiovascular insufficiency, was marked by cough, hemoptysis and pneumoinfarction; the tomograms showed well-defined parts of pneumoinfarction and pleural exudate. In the event of non-occlusion thromboembolism, the clinical picture was only marked by acute cardiovascular insufficiency. In 37 patients, no thromboemboli were discovered in the system of the pulmonary artery. Of these, 27 patients presented, however, with some other pathology of the chest organs.

[Results of the treatment of complications of continuous electrocardiostimulation and methods of their prevention]. / Rezul'taty lecheniia oslozhnenii postoiannoi élektrokardiostimuliatsii i metody ikh profilaktiki.

The authors suggest a classification of complications of continuous electrocardiostimulation. The results of surgical treatment of such complication in 138 patients are discussed. Methods for the prevention of the complications in 328 patients are described. A total of 630 operations were carried out within a decade, survival was 78%.
