  • Clinical outcome and Restenosis following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for ischaemic Rest Pain or ulceration
    The British journal of surgery, 1995
    Co-Authors: S.a. Ray, I. Minty, Timothy M. Buckenham, Anna-maria Belli, R.s. Taylor, John A Dormandy
    Abstract:

    The role of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in the management of severe leg ischaemia is controversial. To investigate further the efficacy of angioplasty and the clinical consequences of Restenosis, a randomly selected cohort of 29 patients with ischaemic Rest Pain or ulceration was studied for 6 months after a technically successful balloon angioplasty. All patients had digital subtraction arteriography at the end of follow-up. Seven of 15 patients undergoing the procedure for Rest Pain had sustained relief from the initial dilatation. Partial or complete healing was noted in all 14 patients with ulceration and was maintained at 6 months in 11 despite significant (greater than 30 per cent) Restenosis at the angioplasty site in eight. There were no complications or clinical deterioration associated with the procedure. Angioplasty is an effective method for treating the severely ischaemic leg, especially when used to achieve ulcer healing; Restenosis is often clinically unimportant.

  • lumbar sympathectomy historical perspective and current role
    Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 1999
    Co-Authors: Ali F Aburahma
    Abstract:

    Lumbar sympathectomy continues to be controversial. It is probably a useful procedure for selected patients with advanced peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Although it is most appropriate for patients with causalgia or hyperhidrosis, some patients with nonbypassable atherosclerotic occlusion with Rest Pain or limited necrosis are said to benefit from lumbar sympathectomy Some surgeons perform sympathectomy for patients with multisegmental arterial occlusive disease undergoing aortoiliac reconstruction or for those with a history of the "blue toe" syndrome. Although much of the increased blood flow associated with this procedure may pass through arteriovenous shunts, some nutrient blood flow may occur. Both clinical judgment and noninvasive diagnostic techniques—particularly digital photoplethysmography-are important for selecting patients who may benefit from lumbar sympathectomy Patients with early foot ischemic Rest Pain and ischemic ulcers or gangrene limited to the toes or the distal forefoot hav...
