Obliterative atheromatosis is, in 98% of cases, the cause of chronic lower limbs ischemia. Facts from literature confirm an increasing morbidity rate of lower limbs obliterative athe­romatosis. Prophylaxis includes eliminating risk factors of atheromatosis as well as these which negatively influence blood circulation in the limb. Thus, therapeutic education is a crucial factor in the treatment plan. The patient who is educated, motivated and performs self-examination has a chance of longer life and its good quality.

The aim of the study is presenting a model of therapeutic education of patients with lower limbs atheromatosis and analyzing the range of education performed by the therapeutic team.

Conclusions:

1. Therapeutic education of patients with peripheral atheromatosis should be based on a model, professional and individualized action and should begin on the moment of diagnosis.

2. The education should be performed by a professionally prepared therapeutic team.
