  • Title: [Nutritional effects following lumbar sympathectomy in arterial occlusive disease (author's transl)].
    Author: Kreuzer W, Keiler A, Salem G.
    Journal: Thoraxchir Vask Chir; 1975 Oct; 23(5):475-8. PubMed ID: 1081768.
    Abstract:
    The effect of lumbar sympathectomy on regional blood-flow and on oxygen uptake of tissue has been investigated in animal experiments and in man. Lumbar sympathectomy did always result in increase of limb blood-flow, but did not significantly improve oxygen consumption of the observed extremity. This finding was manifested by marked narrowing of the arterial-venous oxyhemoglobin saturation difference suggesting that lumbar sympathectomy caused opening of arterial-venous shunts.
