| Summary: | The 81 patients suffering from chronic arterial insufficiency of lower extremities (LE) dueto obliterating atherosclerosis (OA) underwent surgical sympathectomy at L2 , L 3, L4 lumbar level on the side of lesion. Radiofrequency thermodestruction (RF) was used in 60 patients, open sympathectomy was perfomed in 21 patiens. Pain relief was achieved in all patients. Dopplerography data demonsrated the improvement of blood flow in LE. This study had showed high efficiency of RF in treatment of patients with OA.This procedure is less traumatic than open сympathectomy. |
