Myocarditis attended chronic active hepatitis in 22 patients (in 13 of them the outcome of hepatitis was liver cirrhosis). Twelve patients recovered, postmyocarditis cardiosclerosis developed in 6 and 4 patients died. Chronic myocarditis in the stage of aggravation was revealed in 3 cases at autopsy and severe postmyocarditis cardiosclerosis with manifested dilatation of the heart cavities in 1 case.

A rare chronic course of Budd-Chiari syndrome associated with thrombosis of the portal vein was observed in a 30-year-old male patient suffering from postmyocarditic cardiosclerosis. At the age of 24 the patient had infectious allergic myocarditis, was hospitalized and rehospitalized for circulatory insufficiency. Upon 3 years since the disease onset the patient was admitted to a hematological department for progressive enlargement of the spleen. The diagnosis on discharge was idiopathic myelofibrosis with portal hypertension. The treatment included prednisolone, blood transfusions, myelosan. In 1987 the patient presented with enlarged liver and spleen, ascites, gastric and esophageal varicosis, augmenting hepatic insufficiency clinically evaluated as hepatic cirrhosis. Postmortem examination revealed macrofocal cardiosclerosis, splenomegaly, ascites, portal varicosis, enlarged nutmeg liver with smooth surface. Microscopically there was phlebosclerosis and phlebothrombosis varying in duration and involving predominantly medial branches of the hepatic and portal veins, liver fibrosis. The findings provided evidence for the final diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome running an uncommon chronic course.

The authors have performed 631 urgent suprapubic transvesical adenomectomies in patients with prostate adenoma complicated by acute urine retention or hemorrhage. Prearranged and urgent interventions had, by the authors' experience, virtually the same rate of postoperative complications and lethal outcomes. The risk in urgent adenomectomy performed in 294 patients was attributed to their concurrent affections: postinfarction cardiosclerosis, myocardial ischemia or hypertensive crisis, hemiparesis after brain apoplexy, bronchial asthma, diabetes mellitus, hepatic cirrhosis, chronic lymphoid leukemia, drug polyallergy, multiple tumors of the urinary bladder, stomach, etc., in stage T1-3NOMO. 80 patients had intermittent chronic renal failure. In compensation of severe concurrent diseases and satisfactory condition of the patients urgent adenomectomy was conducted within 24 hours since hospitalization. Longer interval (within 24-72 hours) was necessary in subcompensation of the concurrent diseases, intermittent chronic renal failure which were intensively treated. The authors achieved uneventful postoperative course for 272 (92.5%) high-risk patients. Postoperative lethality made up 3.06%. According to 1-11-year follow-up 7 patients died, for the most part of blood and respiratory diseases. Functional long-term outcomes were good in 83.5% of the patients. Basing on their experience, the authors specify indications to urgent adenomectomy and optimal time of its conduction. Contraindications to urgent adenomectomy were revised and narrowed.

In a young male chronic generalized HBV infection (acute viral hepatitis in childhood, HBsAg, HBeAb, HBcAb in the blood serum) ran with a long-term fever and involvement of many organs and systems (the liver, lungs, CNS) complicating the diagnosis. The patient died in the presence of CNS affection and hepatorenal insufficiency. At biopsy and autopsy it was established that the patient had active hepatic cirrhosis, fibrosing alveolitis, pulmonary vasculitides, chronic pneumonia, cerebral vasculitis, myocarditis and postmyocarditis cardiosclerosis, necrotizing myositis, Sjogren's syndrome, mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis.

Immediate and long-term results of prostate adenomectomy were studied in 1549 patients, 322 of whom being of old age. In 1499 (96.8%) patients concomitant diseases were revealed: ischemic heart disease (934 patients), cardiosclerosis after 1-3 myocardial infarction (185), hemiparesis after acute cerebrovascular disturbances (74), diabetes mellitus (88), chronic lymphoid leukemia (5), cirrhosis of the liver (15), cancer (22) and true diverticula (15) of the urine bladder, drug-related polyallergy (16). 628 patients were radically operated in conditions of circulatory insufficiency of stage I-II. In 631 (40.7%) patients surgical intervention was carried out as urgent because of acute dysuria (hampering of urination) or to bleeding from tumor. Transvesical adenomectomy was carried out with hemostasis by 2 semipouch string removable sutures. In 89.5% of patients uncomplicated course of postoperative period was observed. Postoperative lethality in patients with concomitant diseases made up 3.2%. Causes of death were postinfarction cardiosclerosis (6.5%), after-effect of cerebrovascular stroke (5.4%), diabetes mellitus (5.7%), cirrhosis of the liver (6.7%). 6 months to 11 years after the operation 91.2% of the patients achieved good follow-up functional results of surgical treatment, in majority of the patients medical and social rehabilitation was observed.
