This text provides an integrated, up-to-date discussion of the complex field of diagnosis and management of chronic critical limb ischaemia. The diagnosis and treatment of CCLI involves different specialists, including vascular surgeons and radiologists, all of whose interests are represented here.

A pioneering group of authors describes in this book, for the first time, the state of the art of spinal cord stimulation for chronic critical limb ischemia. This method, a progeny of pacemaking in cardiac rhythm disorders, is a promising, innovative procedure; it presents a modern challenge in treatment of endstage peripheral vascular disease or neuropathic pains. Spinal cord stimulation may have a tremendous future if it further develops to become a standard treatment in special indications.

Spinal Cord Stimulation II (SCS) contains the state of the art of this innovative method in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease.
The volume presents such topics as: Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain.- Management of Critical Limb Ischemia.- Spinal Cord Stimulation for Angina Pectoris.- Buerger's Disease.- Miscellaneous.
