Abstract:
Two surveys were performed on more than 100 postoperative peripheral vascular procedure patients in order to ascertain the incidence and extent of prolonged lower limb pain. There was a significant number of patients who continued to experience moderate or greater degrees of disability associated with their pain at more than 7 months postoperatively. A multidisciplinary approach to the management of peripheral vascular patients is discussed.
