  • Title: [Intravascular laser irradiation of blood in multimodal treatment of patients with obliterating diseases of the lower limb vessels].

    Abstract:
    The work analyses the results of the multimodality treatment of 80 patients among whom 20 suffered from endarteritis obliterans and 60 from atherosclerosis obliterans of the lower limb vessels. In the process of complex treatment intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) was carried out by introducing the light guide into a peripheral vein. In 31 (73.8%) patients with decompensated circulatory disorders in the limbs, a course of ILIB produced a good clinical effect. A positive effect was encountered in 35 (92.1%) of patients with subcompensated circulatory disorders in the lower limbs. The clinical efficacy of ILIB is due to normalization of blood coagulative properties, increase of the fibrinolytic potential, improvement of hemorheology, and normalization of the lipoprotein ratio.
