Abstract

Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) is a common cause of cognitive impairment and decrease in self-sufficiency. CCI development is associated with small and large vessels damage, microcirculation disorders and systemic hemodynamic disturbances. A sufficient level of cerebral blood flow support may slow down the disease progression. The article considers the possibilities of Vasonit (pentoxifylline) use in patients with CCI treatment.
