title: [Coronary disease and peripheral arterial disease: contribution of echo-Doppler in the study of the arteries of the neck and lower limbs before the age of 60. Apropos of 76 cases].
abstract: Echo-duplex exploration of heart and inferior limbs arteries is performed in 76 patients less than 60 years old, with angiographically established coronary heart disease. Peripheral vascular lesions are found in 15 cases (20%), they are more frequent in patients with tritrunkular coronary disease (35%) than in those with one (16%) or two-vessel lesions (10%). Mean encephalic circulatory resistance index is higher in patients with tritrunkular lesions (p less than 0.03). Vascular echo-duplex should be performed in case of coronary disease in order to avoid catheterism complications and to purpose combined surgical procedure (coronary bypass and carotid endarterectomy).
