[The role of laser doppler flowmetry in the assessment of microcirculatory disturbances at angiodysplasias].
The paper presents the data on the use of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) for microcirculation assessment in patients with lower limb angiodysplasias. Preliminary results suggest that LDF can be successfully used both for the quantification of microcirculatory disturbances and for the diagnosis of arterio-venous micro fistulas. LDF was used as a monitoring tool for compressive therapy effectiveness in patients with arterio-venous and venous forms of lower limb angiodysplasias. Compression stockings Relaxsan III class were shown to improve microcirculation in this patient population after 1 month wearing.
