Abstract
DISTURBANCE of the vasa vasorum is probably a major factor in the aetiology of various vascular lesions such as cervical rib syndrome, medionecrosis, arteriosclerosis, and pulseless disease1. Various experimental methods of destroying the vasa vasorum have been reported2,3. These involve crushing or dissecting the adventitia, or applying acids and thermocautery to the outside of the vascular wall. We have found no references to any method involving disturbance of the vasa vasorum alone, however. This communication describes an experimental procedure designed to obstruct the vasa vasorum alone.
