Abstract
We present 7 cases of digital artery thrombosis with ischemic symptoms. Six were treated successfully by application of the Leriche principle of resection of a segment of the thrombosed artery. One was treated successfully by resection of a thrombosed segment and replacement with a small vein graft. The symptomatic relief has been conplete in 4 of the 6 patients who had resections, and in the patient who had the single vein graft. The other two patients (with resection only) have had improvement.Keywords
