Arteriographic, Doppler and surgical evaluation of aorto iliac disease and arterial insufficiency of the lower limbs.
The authors compare Doppler and arteriography in aorto iliac obstructive disease. Correlation is high and Doppler combined with induced hyperemia gives highly valuable hemodynamic information which are missed at arteriography. In unilateral iliac lesions, surgery could be planed without further arteriographic investigations. In a group of thoroughly investigated patients submitted to surgery. Doppler and arteriography are compared, the anatomical lesions being used as reference; this study stresses the accuracy of Doppler mainly in unilateral iliac and peripheral lesions.
