title: Improvement of palmoplantar pustulosis lesions after angioplasty for Leriche syndrome.
abstract: Although a wide range of treatments have been used in the treatment of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), PPP is still very difficult to treat. We report a patient who had a dramatic reduction in PPP lesions after bypass surgery for Leriche syndrome. We assume that improved blood circulation had a crucial impact in reducing PPP lesions and suggest improving blood circulation could be another treatment option.
