on this modality of treatment in Buerger’s disease.
Table V summarizes the use of spinal cord stimu-
lators. The true mechanism behind their effect in
Buerger’s disease is still unknown. It is thought
that the electrical stimulation causes analgesia and
inhibits vasoconstriction mediated by the sympa-
thetic nerve.

Table X summarizes the limb salvage rates of the
previously described treatment modalities. Major
amputation is described as above-the-knee or
below-the-knee amputation or hand amputation.
Limb salvage was defined as an intervention that
