We are presenting the results of a multicenter retrospective study including 203 patients with arterial disease of the lower extremities, treated with epidural stimulation. The indications were: stage III or IV ischemia of the Leriche-Fontaine classification, arteriosclerosis or diabetic arteriopathy and untractable pain, or presence of necrosis as in Buerger's disease, Raynaud's phenomenon, frost-bite, Sudeck's disease and ergotamin poisoning. 47 p. cent of the patients had undergone a sympathectomy. The evolution was excellent in 47 p. cent of arteriosclerosis and/or diabetes cases, 100 p. cent of cases of Buerger's disease, 78 p. cent of cases of Raynaud's disease, and good in 33 p. cent of patients with arteriosclerosis and 12 p. cent of cases of Raynaud's disease. The plethysmography curves were improved and there was a statistically significant increase of the transcutaneous PO2 as well as of the isotopic results of muscular and cutaneous perfusion with 201TL and 125I antipyrin. These results demonstrate the capabilities of epidural stimulation in the treatment of arterial diseases of the extremities.
