The lesions of middle- and large-sized arteries due to systemic lupus
erythematosus have been infrequently reported, but vasculitis of small
arterioles has been seen more commonly. Herein, a forty-four-year-old
woman with lower extremity arterial occlusive disease secondary to sy
stemic lupus erythematosus is presented, and the results of sympathect
omy are described.
