Vascular Insufficiency-Chronic Ischemia in the Upper Extremity - Suggested Readings

Pdf Summary

This list of suggested readings includes various articles related to the treatment and management of vascular conditions in the hand and upper extremity. Some key points from the articles include:<br /><br />1. Successful outcomes of severe hand ischemia can be achieved with vascular reconstruction.<br />2. Arterial steal syndrome, a condition where blood flow is diverted away from the hand, can be addressed with appropriate treatment.<br />3. Angioplasty of below elbow arteries is an effective treatment for critical hand ischemia.<br />4. Periarterial sympathectomy has shown long-term positive results for hand and wrist ischemia.<br />5. Distal upper extremity bypass using arterial and venous conduits has favorable outcomes.<br />6. Botulinum neurotoxin A has been used to manage Raynaud's phenomenon.<br />7. Open repair and venous inflow plication is effective in treating steal syndrome.<br />8. Various surgical techniques, such as arterial grafts and arterialization of the venous system, can be employed for vascular reconstruction.<br />9. The use of Botulinum toxin injections has shown promise in treating Raynaud's syndrome associated with scleroderma.<br />10. Noninvasive evaluation of upper-extremity vascular perfusion can provide valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning.<br /><br />These articles provide insights into the current approaches and advancements in the field of vascular surgery for hand and upper extremity conditions.
