Peripheral vascular disease: non-invasive physiological measurement.
The best results from arterial reconstructive operations are obtained by careful patient selection and meticulous operative techniques. Noninvasive physiological tests provide important objective measurements at all stages in the management of peripheral vascular disease. Current techniques will be outlined and discussed.
