[Intermittent claudication. Its direct treatment using intra-arterial injections].
The treatment of intermittent claudication in our polyclinic is fivefold: general treatment of atherosclerosis including: suppression of nicotine intoxication, animal fats free diet replaced by vegetal diet (fish permitted) supply of vitamins B and C. Local treatment: increase of the vascularisation by: leg muscles exercises; frequently repeated intra-arterial injections, in the femoral artery, of 1 p. cent lidocaine which tend to decrease the vascular tone permanently by systematic destruction of the intramural sympathetic nodes (according to Henri Reboul).
