AB: We report 72 non-diabetic patients with obliterant
atherosclerosis, stadium II, (intermittent claudication).
The medium age of these patients was 62 +/- 4.5 years old.
They were randomly included into four groups. Three were
treated with Ozone: one of them by endovenous way, other
intramuscular way, and the last one by rectal way;
meanwhile, in the fourth group the patients were submitted
to conventional medical treatment (control group). In the
three ozone-groups there weren't differences when they were
compared between them. But there was a significant
improvement in comparison with the control group. The
claudication distance in the treadmill increased to the 2.5
km/hour. Ankle/arm pressure rates had significant
difference, this corroborates the ozone action on the
microcirculation. The least uncomfortable, the more
harmless and the more economic way was the rectal way.
