[Use of the Doppler for intrafemoral injection in arteritis].
The discovery of a femoral artery that is clinically non palpable can be made using the Doppler. It is thus possible to use a direct intra-arterial treatment. This is what was done by the authors, who thereby divided the patients into two groups: the first, 22, with non palpable femoral arteries; the second, 20, with palpable femoral arteries. They obtained good results with intermittent claudications, with increase of the walking perimeter, and among the trophic problems they noted, an increase of the walking perimeter, and among the trophic problems they noted, an increase in arterial pressure on the limbs in question, a phenomenon of which they discuss the pathogenic causes.
