Dr. Schalit suggested that there were certain types of cases in which after operation a stellate ganglion block would be indicated; he instanced a case in which a pedicle graft was taken from the abdomen or thigh to the forearm, or amputation of a lower extremity for organic arterial occlusion, the object being to increase the blood supply to the area for the benefit of grafts. It was also suggested that prior to permanent destruction or removal of the ganglion a procaine block should be performed as a test. Patients with cerebral thrombo-embolic catastrophes, if examined within twenty-four hours, should be treated by a stellate ganglion block. Dr. Schalit mentioned the improvement that occurred in one case of severe angina pectoris after permanent destruction of the first, second, third and fourth thoracic segments on the left side.
