The patient underwent multiple operations without resolution of hand pain and tissue loss. The implantation of an adjuvant cervical spinal cord stimulator allowed the patient to obtain complete hand pain relief and wound healing.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Probably, the diffuse microangiopathy typical of haemodialysis patients could be responsible for the persistence of ischaemic signs and symptoms after a surgical revascularisation. The effect of sympathetic blockade and the subsequent improvement of the arterial blood flow and tissue oxygenation because of spinal cord stimulation (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SCS<\/jats:styled-content>) can be useful to achieve complete ischaemic pain relief in order to enhance wound healing and to limit the tissue loss. In conclusion, the association of cervical spinal cord stimulation and surgical revascularisation could represent a valid option to treat a critical upper limb ischaemia following steal syndrome due to AVF.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12233","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,18]],"date-time":"2014-02-18T03:16:44Z","timestamp":1392693404000},"page":"72-76","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Adjuvant spinal cord stimulation improves wound healing of peripheral tissue loss due to steal syndrome of the hand: clinical challenge treating a difficult case"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Giovanni","family":"De Caridi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular and Thoracic Department, \u201cPoliclinico G.
