    AbstractThe Authors present the results got regarding operations of sympathectomy together with operations of distal by-pass at the Institute of Surgical Pathology of the University of Verona from 1979 to 1983. Among the 106 cases, in 58 (55%) sympathectomy was performed with a aorto-bifemoral or iliac-femoral by-pass at the same time, in 48 (45%) pas performed with more distal by-pass. At follow-up in the 72% of the cases a clinical improvement as been noticed, in the 14.5% of the cases a steady result as been found, and in the 12.6% of the cases an aggravation of the situation. Furthermore the clinical stage of the disease (according to Fountain) as been compared with the operation. The Authors concluded that the sympathectomy carried out together with other vascular surgical operations is still a good procedure if the patients are within 70 years of age, no diabetics and pith a sufficient perfusion pressure of the ankle. Moreover, paradoxically, the sympathectomy is much more useful on stage II or III than on stage IV.
