[Interesting changes in blood fibrinolysis following administration of acetylsalicylic acid in vascular diseases of the lower limbs].

After reference to the results of investigations reported in literature with regard to the effects of ingestion of acetylsalicylic acid on the blood biochemism in normal and pathological conditions, the Authors illustrate the results of their research on patients with chronic obstructive arteriopathy or with post-phlebitic syndrome of the lower limbs. An accurate evaluation was made of the variations induced in some important blood coagulation parameters by the said drug, which was found to cause a clear increase in fibrinolytic activity and which is moreover endowed with marked antithrombophilic therapeutic capacity.
