title: [Current therapy of chronic arterial occlusive diseases of the lower extremities].
abstract: Angiologists, vascular surgeons, and angiographers inform about the actual state of the therapy of the arterial occlusive diseases of the legs. The degree I of therapy comprises the conservative treatment for the improvement of the macrocirculation and the normalisation of the disturbed microcirculation, taking into particular consideration the therapy with antiviscositant drugs. The main chapter ends with the possibilities of the influence on the arteriosclerotic vascular processes as well as with the necessary rehabilitative measures. In the paragraph about the degree II of therapy the indications, contraindications, methods and results of the isolated and combined percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, the systemic and local fibrinolysis as well as the reconstructive vascular operations are represented.
