title: [Peroperative measurement of peripheral vascular resistance. Significance for the indications, technic and prognosis of distal bypasses. Apropos of 35 cases].
abstract: The authors report their experience of the per-operative measurement of the "absorption capacity" of a distal vascular network. This constitutes an absolute measurement and provides a reliable per-operative indication of a bypass, and eventually that of surgical reintervention in early thrombosis. The techniques are described with a brief overview of the major physical laws in this field. As a predictive test, the measurement is highly reliable, and a threshold value of 3 PRU was found in the series; beyond this value, all bypasses were thrombotic. A brief survey of the literature considers the theme of peripheric resistances. A table of clinical indications is situated at the end of the study, and is related to values of residual pressure and peripheric resistance. Glossary: R: peripheral resistance PAF: Pressure in femoral artery P: Pressure (mmHg) Pr: residual pressure Rp: Physiological resistance RS: stenotic resistance RC: Resistance due to collateral flow D: Femoral flow d and d': successive variations of flow.
