title: Non-surgical management of peripheral vascular disease: a review.
abstract: Although the outlook for a pronounced improvement in the ischaemic limb that cannot be surgically treated remains bleak, cessation of smoking, encouragement of exercise, and the withdrawal of vasoconstricting agents may give some symptomatic relief. There is little evidence that vasodilators or antiplatelet agents have much to offer.
