[The microcirculation of patients with arterial ischemia of the lower extremities during laser therapy].

Microcirculation in the patient's foot skin with different stages of arterial ischemia, was examined with the aid of TV-capillaroscopy, laser dopplerography, polarography of transcutaneous oxygen tension. The effect of semiconductor laser (wave length 0.98 mcm) on microcirculation system was studied. The dependence of capillary blood flow on the transcutaneous oxygen tension was determined. The laser therapy proved to be successful in the patients with the II and III stages of arterial ischemia.
