This preliminary evidence suggests that UACDT may be a safe and effective option for the delayed treatment of lower limb DVT.

Immediately after undergoing coronary bypass grafting using the left internal thoracic artery, a 59-year-old man developed left leg ischemia. Right-to-left femoral artery crossover bypass was performed and the ischemia resolved. A 72-year-old man developed left calf pain 12 days after a similar procedure; peripheral angiography revealed stenosis of the abdominal aorta and distal peripheral arteries, which did not require intervention.

Hypothermia plays an important role in radial artery vasospasm. Normothermic organ bath and verapamil-nitroglycerin solution alone or in combination relieve spasm of radial artery.

It can be commented that reducing the ambient temperature is more beneficial than modifying the laser wavelength on perforation rates. Therefore we suppose tumescent anaesthesia temperature is effective on perforation independently from the wavelengths or type of the laser fibre.
