Abstract

Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease. Coronary heart disease often coexists with peripheral atherosclerosis, the most common form of which is arterial disease of the lower extremities. The basis of treatment of atherosclerosis is the control of risk factors, effective treatment of hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, often also the use of drugs affecting the coagulation system. These treatment strategies have a positive impact on patients’ prognosis. However in the case of atherosclerosis of the lower limbs, intermittent claudication is a common everyday problem. Current European guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral atherosclerosis indicate cilostazol as the only effective symptom drug, prolonging the distance of claudication. Cilostazol has antiaggregative effects, atherosclerosis patients often have indications for the use of several drugs affecting the activity of the coagulation system. The authors of the article attempt to position cilostazol at a time when the paradigms of anticoagulation are dynamically changing.
