The paper is concerned with a study into the effect of halidor on the results of conservative (17 cases) and surgical (22 cases) treatment of patients suffering from chronic lower limb ischemia. The surgical treatment included revascularization interventions. The study groups were compared to the respective control groups of patients who did not receive halidor. As compared to the control group, the group undergoing surgical treatment demonstrated a significant increase in the ankle/brachial index after parenteral infusion of halidor administered in courses (p<0.05). Also, in the group undergoing conservative treatment, there was a significant increase in the distance of painless walking.

KEY WORDS: chronic lower limb ischemia, distance of painless walking, ankle/brachial index, halidor.
