Reconstructive surgeries were performed in 81 (96.4%) patients. Good and satisfactory results were achieved in 71 (87.6%) patients, unsatisfactory - in 10 (12.3%). Amputation after reconstructive surgery was performed in 3 (3.7%) patients. Amputation and lethal outcomes after reconstructive surgeries were regarded as unsatisfactory results. After reconstructions of the vessels 7 (8.6%) patients died due to shock (5), peritonitis (1) and sudden cardiac arrest.
