Purpose: Retrospective evaluation of, the safety and effectivity of CT-guided percutaneous thoracal sympathicolysis (CT-TSL) in the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of the upper limb and chronic thoracal pain syndromes. Comparison of our own experience with literature reports. Material and Methods: Between 6/96 and 12/99, 4 patients with PAOD of the upper limb and two with chronic thoracal pain syndromes caused by herpes zoster were treated by unilateral CT-TSL. Results: 18, 21 and 32 months after the intervention 3 out of 4 patients treated for PAOD reported subjective improvements, and one remained unchanged. Two patients treated for pain syndromes showed no long-term benefit of the procedure. There were no serious complications. Conclusion: The CT-TSL is an alternative method in the treatment of PAOD in patients who are unsuitable for treatment by revascularization.
