Muscle blood flow was measured in the anterior tibial muscle by using Xe-l33 clearance technique. In the experimental situation, lumbar sympathectomy had no demonstrable effect on the rate of development of collateral circulation. In clinical study, both maximal blood flow during exercise and post-exercise hyperemia did not significantly alterate before and after sympathectomy.}, pages = {71--77}, title = {Effect of Lumbar Sympathectomy on Muscle Circulation in Dogs and Patients}, volume = {37}, year = {1975} }
