[Desympathyzation of arteries in blood circulation disorders of upper extremities].

Results of surgical treatment using the arteries desympathization in 47 patients with the upper extremities (UE) blood circulation disorder were studied. Artheriolysis was performed in 21, periarterial sympathectomy--in 26 patients. For obliterating disease 19 patients were operated, for Raynaud syndrome--9, for the traumatized vessel diseases--8, for the thoracic outlet compression syndrome--11. Desympathization of arteries secures significant improvement of blood circulation in distal parts of UE in terms up to 1 mo in 95.7% of the patients operated on.
