title: [Diagnosis of obliterating diseases of the vessels of the lower extremities using an ultrasonic method].
abstract: The use of echographic apparatus of the latest generation for the ultrasound flowmetry has shown this method to be of value for the objective assessment of regional hemodynamics. It has shown a decreased volume rate of blood flow along the iliac artery in patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremity vessels as the disease was progressing. The lumbar sympathectomy gives little effect in patients with severe ischemia of the extremity. The state of regional hemodynamics is most completely characterized by the regional circulatory index.
