 Hello -
Although I've never encountered this approach to PVD it does potentially make sense as a partial solution to the problem in certain select cases, as it could help the affected vessels relax and dilate, improving outbound circulation. This would apply only to situations where a great length of (or number of) vessel/vessels were involved and simple bypass wouldn't solve the problem.
I hope this answers your question. Please follow up with us as needed.
