[Supravascular laser exposure in combined modality treatment of patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans of blood vessels of lower extremities].

The efficiency of supravascular laser exposure in multiple-modality treatment of patients with atherosclerosis obliterans with distal vascular lesions is demonstrated and the method of noninvasive laser exposure of the lower limbs is validated. Difficulties in the treatment of this category of patients prompted supplementing traditional therapy by supravascular laser exposure in 32 patients. No laser therapy was used in the controls.

[Photo-hemo-correction in the complex treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower limbs].

Based on the assessment of clinical efficiency of the intravascular and percutaneous photomodification of blood with a helium-neon laser in 170 patients the authors have shown that it is expedient to include the photohemocorrection in the medical programs for the I-III degree ischemia.
