Percutaneous radiofrequency thermal lesion of the lumbar sympathetic chain (PRFS) was performed in 30 patients with diabetes mellitus suffering from unreconstractable endstage peripheral vascular disease. All of the patients had the feeling of warmth after PRFS, 45% were free of further complaints and 63% changed to stage II according fontaine. The reported data demonstrate a good comparability concerning amputation after a period of two years to the results obtained by surgical sympathectomy. As there is no need of general anesthesia PRFS turned out to be a good alternative to the surgical sympathectomy.
对30例患有无法治愈的终末期周围血管疾病的糖尿病患者进行了经皮腰椎交感神经链射频热凝术（PRFS）。所有患者在PRFS后都有温热感，45%的患者不再有其他不适，63%的患者根据Fontaine分期转变为II期。报告的数据表明，与手术交感神经切除术的结果相比，两年后的截肢情况具有良好的可比性。由于无需全身麻醉，PRFS被证明是手术交感神经切除术的良好替代方法。
