[Results of the Berlin HOT/UVB comparative study in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disorders].
Both photobiological methods haematogenic oxydation therapy (HOT) and therapy by retransfused ultraviolet irradiated own blood (UVB) were compared with regard to its therapeutic efficacy in patients with peripheral arterial occulusive disease of lower extremities in stage II by Fontaine. In parallel to paraclinical and coagulation data, haemodynamic as well as haemorheological parameters were investigated to clarify possible mechanisms of action of these therapies. 15 male patients were enclosed in the corresponding patients groups with a mean walking distance of 178 +/- 108 m (HOT) and 213 +/- 147 m (UVI), respectively. The claudicatio-distances were significantly improved after 10 series of therapy by 94% in the HOT-group and by 83% in the UVI-group, respectively. A significant difference in the improvement of walking distances could not be detected between both therapeutical methods. Significant alterations in observed paraclinical parameters were not observed.
