Analysis of combined treatment of aged patients with obliterative atherosclerosis of the vessels of low limbs grade IV by intraarterial infusions and CO2-laser showed good short-term results. The proposed method of "sparing surgery" is not much traumatic and simple in performance. It creates additional curative effect by improvement of regional circulation in ischemic area and by antibacterial stimulating action on tissues with trophic damages by CO2-laser, it diminishes operation risk and promotes favourable healing process.
