摘要
A 67-year-old man with polycythemia, secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, had angina attacks at rest treated successfully by supplementing conventional therapy with frequent phlebotomies. Although phlebotomy reduces arterial oxygen content, it also decreases blood viscosity, improves peripheral oxygen consumption and thus yields the clinical benefit.
