Abstract

We performed both DFPP and HD in eight cases of non-hyperlipidemic patients suffering from severe arteriosclerosis obliterans in which drug treatment had been ineffective and surgical treatment was not feasible. We also conducted catamnestic observation for a period of two years. Amputation of the leg was avoided in six of seven cases, and effects of treatment remained with regard to subjective symptoms such as coldness, numbness, and pain as indicated by the Visual Analogue Scale. The current research presents DFPP as a new option for the treatment of non-hyperlipidemic patients with difficult-to-treat ASO.
