Objective: to evaluate the efficiency and extent of endovascular revascularization in patients with multisegment lesions in chronic obliterating diseases of the lower limb arteries. Material and methods. The outcomes of the endovascular correction of multisegment lesions of the lower limb arteries were analyzed in 10 patients. Results . After the treatment the patients revealed a statistically significant change (increase of the value) of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) (p = 0.001). The ABI value after the surgical intervention amounted to 0.81 (0.71; 0.87), which was connected with a favourable prognosis for such patients. Аccording to the established criteria, the outcomes of the interventions comprised the decrease of the degree of chronic arterial insufficiency (p < 0.01), all the patients were discharged having no clinical manifestations of critical lower limb ischemia or decreased evidence of intermittent claudication. Conclusion . The majority of patients with clinically evident ischemia of the lower limbs suffer from multisegment arterial lesion (the number of the segments exceeds 2), which entails the need of multiple corrections in one patient. Meanwhile, the evaluation of the treatment results is possible only in the postoperative period according to the indirect criteria. Therefore, during the operation there arises the need to develop a method of the objective intraoperative evaluation of the extent and efficiency of the performed correction of arterial lesions on each segment.
