Hardware plasmapheresis in the treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of lower limb arteries

The possibility of using apparatus plasmapheresis in the treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities are discussed in the article. It is shown that patients, in the complex of treatment of which apparatus plasmapheresis was included, significantly more often demonstrated normalization of hemostatic parameters, normalization of functions, as well as positive dynamics of blood circulation in the lower ex- tremities in comparison with patients receiving traditional treatment. The obtained data allow to recommend apparatus plasmapheresis as an effective method of treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities.
