Endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy (ETS)

چکیده
Endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is used on a limited scale as a complement to traditional treatment methods for severe coronary heart disease. In patients where traditional methods do not help, or where the risk of, eg, coronary artery surgery is perceived to be excessive, ETS may be considered. However, experience with the procedure is limited, and only a few open studies on ETS have been conducted.
