title: [Hemosorption in patients with chronic disorders of arterial blood circulation in the lower limbs].
abstract: Hemosorption was used in 35 patients with chronically disordered arterial circulation in the lower limbs. Atherosclerotic vascular lesions were noted in all the patients. The study group was composed of patients with diffuse lesions in the lower limbs' arterial bed, where surgical treatment was not indicated because of poor general condition, as well as those after reconstructive vascular surgery performed to prevent thrombosis and prolong operation of the shunts. Clinical parameters, blood lipid composition, rheovasographic, thermometric, thermographic, capillaroscopic, Doppler-ultrasonometric findings, and muscular flow (using local 133Xe clearance technique) were examined in all the patients before, and on days 1, 3, 7, 14 after the hemosorption. A stable short- as well as long-term improvement of regional circulation in lower limbs is noted after hemosorption. It appears to be a new promising method for the treatment of patients with atherosclerotic vascular lesion of lower limbs, where surgical treatment is not indicated, and survivors of vascular surgery for shunt thrombosis prevention.
