[Descending rhythmic pneumocompression as a medical treatment of atherosclerosis obliterans]
Abstract:
About 2 percent of the population of the world suffers from atherosclerotic lesion of the lower extremity arteries. However, the treatment of this pathology is an unsolved problem so far. The authors used a method of rhythmic pneumocompression for medical treatment of patients with chronic arterial insufficiency due to lower extremity vascular atherosclerosis obliterans. A total of 56 patients with stages II-III atherosclerotic lesion were examined. The findings indicated that the method noticeably reduced the intensity of the pain syndrome and tissue ischemia. The procedure exerted a reflex action on the cardiovascular system: the patients had slower heart rate and lowered blood pressure.
