FIELD: medicine, particularly, vascular surgery. SUBSTANCE: method includes installation of transducer of ultrasonic scanner in projection of common femoral vein of examined extremity; quantitative evaluation of blood flow at rest and at dorsal flexion of feet; measurement of the same parameters at manual compression of femoral vein in middle third of femur before and after contraction of musculus gastrocnemius. This makes it possible to evaluate reserves of collateral blood flow under conditions of simulation of femoral vein resection and to solve the problem of possibility of resection of femoral vein more distal from opening of femur deep vein. EFFECT: higher efficiency due to application of noninvasive and abundant in information method of evaluation of possibility of femoral vein resection in chronic disease of veins of lower extremities.
