title: [Evaluation of digital subtraction angiography, ultrasonography and Doppler velocimetry versus conventional angiography in the femoral bifurcation].
abstract: Thirty patients were examined by 4 procedures, conventional angiography (C.A.), peripheric intravenous digital subtraction angiography (D.S.A.), ultrasonography and Doppler on femoral artery bifurcation. These arteries are divided into several sections on which findings were classified into three or five categories. There is an excellent correlation between conventional and digital angiograms. Various results of D.S.A. versus C.A. were obtained in 2% of these sections. More differences were noticed between C.A. and Doppler (7%), C.A. and ultrasonography (10%). There is a positive correlation of D.S.A. versus C.A. With Doppler and ultrasonography, arterial map is difficult to establish especially in case of many stenoses of the iliac arteries or thrombosis on femoral superficialis arteries.
