[Correlations between clinical stage and peripheral pressures in peripheral vascular diseases (author's transl)].
The authors have studied 311 patients with arterial occlusive disease of the lower limbs. They have taken the arm pressure and the ankle pressure (A.P.) and have calculated the ankle/arm pressure index of Winsor (I.W.) in order to ascertain a relationship between peripheral pressure and clinical stage. The result is that both I.W. and A.P. are equally valuable to depict the different stages of the arterial occlusive disease.
