Abstract 

Hemostatic changed induced by ozone therapy were studied in 81 
patients with atherosclerosis of different vessels in 81 patients. 
It was found that use of ozone-oxygen mixtures leads to 
hypocoagulatory changes (diminution of platelet aggregation, 
lowering of fibrinogen concentration, prolongation of activated 
partial thromboplastin time, enhanced fibrinolytic activity) which 
contribute to clinical response.
