For the leg swelling that was mentioned, one maneuver that has worked and been described is to elevate the leg and wrap it with ace bandages to promote drainage--obviously there has been compromise of venous drainage, but it is highly difficult and unusial to fully ablate all venous drainage from the leg.  Restoration of venous outflow may be considered if this does not work with a temporary conduit or shunt.

The time  has come to counsel the patient and
amputate (or ablate as Dr. Mattox puts  it).

This suggestion was also mentioned in our group, by me.   It has  caused a 
great deal of ethical, moral, and scientific polarization.    The leg is still 
viable.   The man is a construction worker and wants  to keep his leg.
