    Author: Polous IuM, Kushnir RIa.
    Journal: Klin Khir (1962); 1991; (7):50-2. PubMed ID: 1942835.
    Abstract:
    By means of a polarographic method, the peculiarities of blood distribution in the tissues of the lower extremities in 34 patients with obliterative atherosclerosis and in 29--with obliterative endarteritis after sympathectomy were studied. In successful intervention, the prognostically significant increase in oxygen tension in the muscles at the level of crura and feet was noted. It is suggested to use this test under conditions of medicinal ganglionectomy with the aim of prognostication of the effectiveness of the forthcoming lumbar sympathectomy.
