and aim. In this study discrete plasmapheres method possibilities in the treatment of the patients with III stage of peripheral artery disease were investigated. The aim of current investigation was to find out the changes of the peripheral microcirculation. Materials and methods: microcirculation was investigated with Minimax-Doppler Ê device before and after treatment of 48 patients with intermittent claudication. Results and discussion. It was found that peripheral microcirculation data and spectral characteristics of Doppler flow changes and clinical status of the patients eventually improved after treatment by suggested method. In conclusion, treatment by suggested method of discrete plasmapheres is effective on one of the most complicated group of patients with III stage of ischemia according to Fontaine-Pokrovsky classification of atherosclerosis of the arteries of low extremities.
