[Use of the Doppler effect in pathology and vascular surgery of the lower extremities].

A clinical, arteriographic and hemodynamic comparative study, using the Doppler effect in 100 cases, suggests: -- that a study of the Doppler effect is a very useful method of diagnosis to determine the site of obstruction and the state of the blood vessels beyond the obstruction, even in the absence of adequate radiological images; -- following operation, it permits one to assess a case of thrombosis, even when the latter is not obvious clinically. It makes unnecessary post-operative arteriographic controls in tired or high-risk patients.

[Venous exploration in the aged subject: Doppler, plethysmography, photoreflexometry].

The performance and the interpretation of venous explorations in the elderly patient are often difficult due to the frequency of a past history of venous diseases and associated pathologies. Nevertheless it provides valuable and often conclusive informations since, in our series of 110 patients over 70 years, in a city practice: more than 50 per cent of the clinical diagnoses of phlebitis were wrong (27 out of 47); 80 per cent of the phlebites that were diagnosed, did not ha a phlebogram (sural and/or isolated femoro-popliteal phlebites). In all patients suffering from chronic edema as well as 96 per cent of those with trophic disorders, an etiological diagnosis was possible. Finally, it must be emphasized that, in 110 patients, 23 (or 21%) presented disorders secondary to a superficial venous insufficiency, isolated or predominant, which, as a rule, had not been diagnosed clinically.

[Reconstructive surgery in arterial disease of the legs at the stage of intermittent claudication. Report of 100 cases (author's transl)].

100 patients with stage II arteritis (claudication alone) were operated on. In the vast majority of cases (78%), the lesions were aorto-iliac. The operative mortality was nil. The immediate follow up period included 2 thromboses requiring 2 reoperations. The long term follow up, on average 22 months (from 8 months to 3 years) was very satisfactory with a good functional result in 94.5% of cases. We noted 4 deaths, of which 3 were of cardiovascular origin, 4 secondary thromboses of which 2 were due to suddenly stopping anticoagulants. The low morbidity is a further reason for early surgery, as it is known that the risks of operation at a later stage, e.g. stages III and IV, may occur suddenly in the course of an apparently stable arteritis.
