[Feasibility of correction of blood aggregation properties in the course of extracorporeal hemosorption in atherosclerosis patients]. / Vozmozhnosti korrektsii agregatnogo sostoianiia krovi pri provedenii ékstrakorporal'noi gemokorrektsii bol'nym aterosklerozom.

Aggregation and rheological properties of blood were evaluated in 20 atherosclerotic patients after cryoplasmosorption. The change of the patients' plasma for extracorporeally modified autoplasma reduced coagulation potential, enhanced fibrinolysis and suppressed anticoagulation systems. Clinical efficacy manifested in decreased frequency and duration of anginal episodes, intensity of intermittent claudication. Biochemically, cholesterol levels and atherogenic index lowering was evident.
