Knott's autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood was performed in 163 inoperable patients, including 141 patients with obliterating atherosclerosis and 22 patients with endarteritis. Good clinical effect was produced that was particularly apparent in patients with obliterating atherosclerosis. Assessment of the effects of autotransfusion of US-irradiated blood on microcirculation, peripheral circulation, hemostasis and humoral immunity in the two samples confirmed the method's efficiency.
