[Influence of plasmapheresis and plasmosorbtion on the peripheral blood flow and lipid metabolism in patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels].

Changes in the indices of microcirculation and lipid metabolism were assessed in the process of treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels and in combination with ischemic heart disease, with the II degree of ischemia those who had undergone revascularizing operations. It was found that plasmapheresis followed by plasmosorbtion improved the state of peripheral blood flow and decreased the concentration of blood lipoproteins of both low and high density, not decreasing the atherogenicity coefficient, and less effective in combination with ischemic heart disease, which was due to low selectivity of the carbofibrilar sorbent.
