Introduction: is to analyze the economic indicators of different types of surgical treatment of atherosclerosis of the femoral-popliteal segment of the lower extremity in patients for сritacal limb ishemia.
Materials and methods. were analyzed 173 cases of atherosclerosis of the femoral-popliteal segment of the lower extremity in patients for сritacal limb ishemia, of which 93 underwent arterial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and 80 bypass surgery of the affected vessels. For this an original model of determining the value of medical care was used. It included the determination of costs that was given as a payment for medical workers, material and technical costs, the surgical interventions costs, the drugs that were used, additional examinations, and etc.
Results. Economic analysis of costs per average patient that underwent PTA was UAH 5025.85, and bypass surgery UAH 4351.1. However,analyzing the results of treatment showed that there are small differences between the two methods, in particular a larger number of patients with diabetes.
Conclusions. Both methods of treatment gave almost the same result in terms of the cost of treatment, which requires consideration of other factors, especially the clinical course of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
