Safe relief of Rest Pain that eases with activity in achillodynia by intrabursal or peritendinous steroid injection: the rupture rate was not increased by these steroid injections.
British journal of sports medicine, 1999Co-Authors: M. T. F. ReadAbstract:A history of morning and Rest Pain that eases with activity was found to improve after anti-inflammatory injections around the paratenon or within the Achilles bursae. The reduction in Pain morbidity was significant, and the peritendinous steroid injections did not increase the rupture rate.

Clinical outcome and Restenosis following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for ischaemic Rest Pain or ulceration
The British journal of surgery, 1995Co-Authors: S.a. Ray, I. Minty, Timothy M. Buckenham, Anna-maria Belli, R.s. Taylor, John A DormandyAbstract: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, 1999Co-Authors: Ali F AburahmaAbstract: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...

management of vasospastic disorders with botulinum toxin a
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2007Co-Authors: Allen L Van Beek, Paul K Lim, Andrew J L Gear, Marc R PritzkerAbstract:Background:Surgical digital artery sympathectomy is indicated when medical management has failed to control Rest Pain, impending infarction of digits, or healing of ischemic ulcerations caused by profound vasospasm that is associated with other systemic diseases. After digital artery sympathectomy,
