In this study we investigated the influence of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 1.0 g/day on 111-In-platelet survival time (PST) and on plasma levels of beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) and platelet factor 4 (PF 4) in 37 patients (median age: 63.4 years) with arteriographically proven peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) in a chronic stable phase. We found a slight but significant increase of PST during therapy with ASA (weighted mean (WM): 184.3----193.2 [median] hours, p less than 0.05; multiple hit (MH): 182.4----192.8 hours, p less than 0.005) for the total group of patients. Concerning the influence of risk factors of PAOD on PST during ASA-therapy, there was a significant increase of PST only in the nondiabetics (WM: 180.3----204.6 hours, p less than 0.01; MH: 176.8----195.3 hours, p less than 0.01). There was a negative correlation between the baseline values of PST and their increase following ASA therapy (WM: r = -0.63; p less than 0.0001; MH: r = -0.61, p less than 0.0001). The pretreatment levels of beta-TG--but not PF 4--were significantly (p less than 0.001) elevated compared to healthy controls. Therapy with ASA caused a significant decrease in the plasma levels of beta-TG (median: 30.4----26.6 ng/ml, p less than 0.001) and PF 4 (2.95----2.2 ng/ml, p less than 0.01).
