Cilostazol is a vasodilator with antiplatelet and metabolic properties. In addition to physical activity, it is used in the treatment ofintermittent claudications, i. e. classic clinical signs of chronic limb ischaemia. Professional societies’ guidelines list it as the firstdrug of choice. While the effect of cilostazol on claudications has been evaluated in a number of studies, its options for affectingthe individual cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks still remain unappreciated.

Keywords: antiaggregation, thrombocytes, vasodilation, intermittent claudications, critical limb ischaemia, stroke prevention
