Critical blood flow was discovered in the middle, ring, and little finger, with ischemic ulcerations apparent in the fingertips of these 3 fingers. The distal phalanx of the little finger had been amputated 6 months before because of gangrenous necrosis. In an attempt to avoid further disabling amputations, the patient received 3 series of Bier's block sessions with guanethidine and lidocaine according to a specific protocol. Marked increase in finger blood flow was induced even after the first series, and complete disappearance of both fingertip ulcerations and ischemic rest pain was achieved. No side effects were observed. The above-described method in a patient with advanced Buerger's disease resulted in excellent pain relief and full restoration of both blood flow and function of the affected fingers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000331970505600419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,31]],"date-time":"2006-03-31T16:26:23Z","timestamp":1143822383000},"page":"493-496","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Successful Intravenous Regional Sympathetic Blockade (Bier's Block) with Guanethidine and Lidocaine in a Patient with Advanced Buerger's Disease (Thromboangiitis Obliterans)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Kosmas I.","family":"Paraskevas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Athens University Medical School, Larissa, Greece,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aikaterini A.","family":"Trigka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, General Prefecture Hospital of Larissa, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Samara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, General Prefecture Hospital, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002281-199401000-00008"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"265","volume-title":"Current Management of Hypertensive and Vascular Diseases","author":"Olin JW","year":"1992"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(94)90097-3"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"204","volume":"37","author":"Bier A","year":"1908","journal-title":"Verhandlungen der Deutscher Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Chirurgie"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000331970205300404"},{"key":"atypb6","first-page":"42","volume":"17","author":"Pflug JJ","year":"1988","journal-title":"Vasa"},{"key":"atypb7","first-page":"55","volume":"15","author":"Dean MS","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Am Board Fam Pract"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0140-6736(90)90346-7"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(74)90418-8"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03005533"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000331978003100905"},{"key":"atypb12","first-page":"303","volume":"147","author":"Chang CC","year":"1965","journal-title":"J Pharmacol Exp Ther"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-198708000-00034"}],"container-title":["Angiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000331970505600419","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000331970505600419","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T10:13:38Z","timestamp":1777371218000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/000331970505600419"}},"subtitle":["A Case Report"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,7]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/000331970505600419"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/000331970505600419","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-3197","1940-1574"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-3197","type":"print"},{"value":"1940-1574","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,7]]}}}
