title: [Low intensity laser irradiation in therapy of elderly patients with occlusive artery diseases].
abstract: Shown in the paper is a novel complex approach to the treatment of occlusion affections of arteries by He-Ne and infrared laseropuncture. As many as 80 patients having a history of the above health problem 5 years in duration were kept under medical supervision. Patient age ranged between 50 to 78 years. Laseropuncture was carried out with the aid of the infrared laser stimulator [symbol: see text]-001 (wavelenth 0.89 mm with continuous-wave pulse operation, pulse power 8 W) and 111 He-Ne laser (wavelength 0.63 mm, power density 5 mW/cm2, spot diameter 25 mm). 88.2 percent of patients derived apparent therapeutic benefit, 11.8 percent demonstrating a satisfactory clinical effect.
