Thoracoscopic sympathectomy for symptomatic arterial obstruction of the upper extremities.
BACKGROUND Severely symptomatic arterial insufficiency of the hand and upper extremities requires adequate treatment. Medical therapy and local care are usually unsuccessful, and thoracic sympathectomy can represent an effective procedure to control pain, to help ulcer healing, and to prevent or delay amputation. METHODS We performed 20 thoracoscopic sympathectomies in 15 patients (13 men and...
متن کاملChronic occlusive arterial disease of the extremities.
CHRONIC occlusive arterial diseases are the most common and the most disabling of all peripheral vascular disorders. Some of the causes of chronie arterial occlusion are arteriosclerosis obliterans, thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease), primary arterial thrombosis, which presumably results froni hypercoagulable blood, embolism, which is almost always associated with heart disease or p...
متن کاملArterial Disease of the Lower Extremities
Whether used in the primary-care setting or in the vascular laboratory after referral, non-invasive arterial tests provide reliable, reproducible data that can confirm a diagnosis, clearly related symptoms to anatomy, and guide the angiographer, should invasive studies prove necessary. Such data not only aid in planning for surgery, when required, but also serve as a baseline for immediate post...
متن کاملPeripheral arterial disease of the lower extremities
Persons with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are at increased risk for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and mortality from coronary artery disease. Smoking should be stopped and hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypothyroidism treated. Statins reduce the incidence of intermittent claudication and improve exercise duration until the onset of intermittent claudica...
متن کاملImplications of muscle design on surgical reconstruction of upper extremities.
The basic anatomic and physiologic properties of human upper extremity muscles have been elucidated using a novel intraoperative sarcomere length measuring device in conjunction with quantitative anatomic and biomechanic models of these same muscles. We reviewed the genesis of these studies which began with development of the optical tools, validation using animal models, and application to hum...
