Spinal cord stimulation for unreconstructible chronic limb ischaemia

European Journal of Vascular Surgery
B NachburM G Hasdemir

Abstract

There is still a lack of prospective randomised studies; at the present we know of only one by Jivegard et al. on a relatively small number of 51 patients. Their results are encouraging, tissue loss being reduced significantly and a trend towards increased limb salvage. The results of ongoing Dutch and American studies are awaited. It has however been shown in convincing microcirculatory studies by Jacobs et al. and others that SCS has a positive effect. Wide clinical experience has also substantiated this; were this not the case it would be hard to understand why elaborate studies by Augustinsson, Meyerson and the prolific work of Linderoth should ever have been designed. Recent communications by Lo Gerfo and others have shown that it is important to visualise the arterial tree all the way down to the foot by selective angiography before pronouncing a leg as non-reconstructible. The 3- and 5-year patency results of femoro- and popliteo-pedal bypass surgery presented by Lo Gerfo are so extraordinary--albeit probably unreproducible by all vascular surgeons--that SCS must be restricted to the truly unoperable or unreconstructable cases of CLI. SCS therefore is definitely not meant to be an alternative to reconstructive techniques...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
