Vacuum-compression therapy for ischemic disease of the extremities: experience with 40 patients / 药物分析学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical effects of vacuum-compression therapy for ischemic disease of the extremities. Methods A total of 40 cases of peripheral arterial disorders, including 23 thromboangiitis obliterans (31 limbs) and 17 arteriosclerosis obliterans (23 limit), were treated by a self-made vacuum-compression therapeutic apparatus. Results The effective rate in thromboangiltis obliterans and arteriosclerosis obliterans groups was 96.77% and 92.23%, respectively. The cuffs on the apparatus were improved to eliminate discomfort in the patients during treatment. "Rebound symptom" was observed during treatment, which had not been reported previously. Conclusion Vacuum-compression therapy has a good prospect for treating ischemia of the extremities.
