To treat patients with chronic arterial occlusion of the lower extremities, the authors used 3% solution of low molecular polyvinyl alcohol in 0.9% sodium chloride solution-polydese. The substance was injected intravenously and intraarterially in a dosage of 10 ml per k Kg of weight. There was noted a good tolerance of the drug, and also the absence of toxic, pyrogenic and allergic reactions. In polydese therapy a marked improvement of the peripheral blood circulation was observed. The conducted clinical observations, laboratory studies have proved polydese to be the drug of a positive rheological effect.
