The last decade has seen distinct dynamics of the worldwide growth of the number of endovascular interventions and a decrease in the number of "open" surgical operations for pathology of the aorta and peripheral arteries. The world trends of treatment of patients presenting with pathology of the aorta and peripheral arteries are indicative of a steadily growing amount of operations, most of which are performed in an endovascular manner.

In the Russian Federation, the past decade has also witnessed a noticeable jump of the amounts of endovascular interventions. Thus, the number of operations from 2008 to 2017 increased from 15 094 to 37 109 (2.5-fold). Nevertheless, in Russia there is a significant lag in both the total amount and the ratio of the performed surgical and endovascular operations in patients with pathology of the aorta and peripheral arteries.

The article analyses the world and Russian trends in the development of surgical and endovascular treatment of patients with pathology of the aorta and peripheral arteries.

KEY WORDS: diseases of the aorta and peripheral arteries, endovascular surgery, carotid stenting, stenting of brachiocephalic arteries, Leriche syndrome.
