Abstract

The theoretical and practical issues of the possibility of using the technology of "vacuum-assisted closure therapy" (VAC-therapy, "negative pressure wound therapy" (NPWT)) in the complex treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI) are considered in the article.

The experience of using VAC-therapy with VivanoTec® system (Germany) in 7 patients with atherosclerotic trophic ulcers and 14 patients with wound infections is presented. We compared the healing rate of ulcerative defects, the severity of the pain syndrome, the development of complications, as well as the need for performing landmark necroectomies and amputations.

In patients with CLI, the use of VAC-therapy improves the course of repair processes, which is accompanied by a decrease in the duration of treatment, as well as the number of landmark surgical sanations, necroecetomies and small amputations in the soft tissue defect zone (p <0.05) and has a high safety profile. The use of VAC-technologies is accompanied by a trend towards an increase in the indicators of transcutaneous oxymetry in the wound defect area, as well as patients compliance to therapy.

Keywords: critical limb ischemia, obliterating diseases of lower limbs, treatment of critical ischemia, wound infections, atherosclerotic trophic ulcers, VAC-therapy.
