Indications for Sympathectomy are all except:
Lumbar Sympathectomy is not of value in the management of intermittent claudication, as blood flow in the skin but not in the muscle is controlled by sympathetic nervous system. Blood flow in the skin but not in the muscle is controlled by a sympathetic nervous system. If the overlying aerial supply is inadequate, ischemic changes in the skin may be relieved by sympathetic blockage but the impaired blood flow to muscles is unlikely to improveQ.
