- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Surgical and neurolytic techniques for the sympathetic thoracic chain present challenges and controversial outcomes for upper limb arteriopathies.
- Effective management of pain and ischemic complications in upper limb arteriopathies remains a clinical challenge.
