The aim: study of the effectiveness of the combined treatment of cysts in women after cosmetic breast endoprosthesis with the help of ozone therapy and drug Mastodinon. Material and methods. For 1.5 years with dynamic control after 6-12 months. clinical-x-ray-sonographic examination of the mammary glands of 21 women aged 34 to 42 years with different variants of mastopathy and cysts after cosmetic endoprosthesis was carried out. For therapeutic purposes, a fine needle aspiration biopsy of breast cysts was performed under ultrasound control, followed by the introduction of an ozone-oxygen mixture into the cavity at a concentration of 40-80 mcg/ml, in parallel, a herbal preparation Mastodinon was prescribed for 1 tab. X 2 times a day for 3 months. Results. The examined patients complained of pain, a feeling of swelling, the presence of insomnia, periodic feeling of heaviness and swelling, a sense of fear, apprehension and uncertainty associated with the surgical intervention to install implants. Clinical-x-ray-sonographic examination in all patients revealed fibrocystic mastopathy of varying severity with cysts from 0.5 to 2 cm. Control studies every 6 months during the year showed positive dynamics of combined treatment of breast cysts after ozone therapy and the use of Mastodinon as a stable therapeutic effect in 91% of cases. In 20 of the 21 cases, the cysts did not recur, the clinical symptoms of mastalgia did not bother. Conclusion. Combined conservative treatment of breast cysts after cosmetic endoprosthesis with sequential introduction into the emptied cavity of ozone-oxygen mixture at a concentration of at least 70-80 mcg/ml with the appointment of the drug Mastodinon for 3 months. Stably reduces clinical manifestations of fibrocystic mastitis and eliminates recurrence of cysts in 91% of cases, improves the quality of life of patients.

Abstract. Background: Surgical revascularization for chronic critical limb ischaemia in patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) still remains controversial. Generally, besides cessation of smoking, conservative treatment supported by intravenous administration of vasoactive agents is regarded as the treatment of choice, in combination with local wound therapy or minor amputation. Patients and methods: In four male patients (42-47 years) surgical revascularization was chosen as therapy for established gangrene or non-healing ulceration after unsuccessful conservative treatment and cessation of smoking. Angiography was able to identify a suitable distal arterial segment for the bypass which was revascularized by means of an autologous vein graft. Grafts were followed with repetitive duplex ultrasound. Revision of the bypass graft was initiated if indicated by pathological duplex findings. Results: In all cases a bypass could be constructed with either the ipsilateral greater saphenous vein or arm veins. A distal origin configuration was possible in three cases with popliteo-pedal or cruro-pedal bypasses. In the fourth case the distal superficial femoral artery was used for inflow. Two early graft thromboses underwent successful revision. During follow-up, duplex ultrasound identified graft stenoses in three bypasses which were successfully treated with endovascular techniques. All grafts are patent with complete resolution of ischaemic symptoms after 46, 42, 32, and 29 months. The patients remained non-smokers and returned to a professional life. Conclusions: Surgical therapy with distal vein bypass for persistent ischaemic symptoms after definitive cessation of smoking seems feasible in selected cases with TAO and a suitable distal artery. Close follow-ups of the patients with duplex ultrasound are necessary to identify developing vein graft stenoses. Angioplasty seems to be an important part of the long-term therapeutic concept.

Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the aorta is uncommon, and usually develops in the descending thoracic aorta. Rarely this condition involves the branch vessels of the aorta. We report a case of ruptured aneurysm of the innominate artery resulting from penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. Open surgery was the treatment of choice for the ruptured aneurysm, while conservative treatment was recommended for the associated penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers of the descending aorta.

Lymphedema and lipedema are chronic progressive disorders for which no causal therapy exists so far. Many general practitioners will rarely see these disorders with the consequence that diagnosis is often delayed. The pathophysiological basis is edematization of the tissues. Lymphedema involves an impairment of lymph drainage with resultant fluid build-up. Lipedema arises from an orthostatic predisposition to edema in pathologically increased subcutaneous tissue. Treatment includes complex physical decongestion by manual lymph drainage and absolutely uncompromising compression therapy whether it is by bandage in the intensive phase to reduce edema or with a flat knit compression stocking to maintain volume.
