The early and late outcomes of electrical stimulation of the spinal cord are analyzed in chronic critical ischemia of the lower extremities and coronary heart disease with peripheral involvement of coronary, arteries. The clinical capacities of this treatment that has enjoyed little use in our country due to its high cost showed atraumaticity of electrical stimulation of the spinal cord; a few cases of complications and no hospital mortality; a rapid positive clinical effect after the initiation of electric neurostimulation, and better life quality in patients in the postoperative periods.
