The diagnosis and assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms by ultrasonography.

A study of 150 patients examined by ultrasonography is described. It was designed specifically to diagnose and investigate abdominal aortic aneurysms. Sixty-four aneurysms were found. Ultrasonography was useful in distinguishing aneurysms from other conditions and there was a high degree of correlation between size measured by scanning and operative size. In addition to the demonstration of rupture it was possible to perform serial measurements. The technique is simple and quick and causes minimal disturbance to the patient.

The value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

An evaluation of ultrasonography in early dilatation and aneurysm is presented. Fifty-nine patients with prominent abdominal pulsation were examined and aneurysm was demonstrated in 22. There was a high degree of correlation between the size of the aneurysm demonstrated by ultrasound and the size displayed at operation. It was also possible to demonstrate increasing dilatation by measurement on subsequent occasions.

Arterial surgery in intermittent claudication.

The results of a survey of 302 operations in 277 patients during 1959-70 are presented, and an additional 69 operations during 1971 are included in the mortality figures. Operative mortality (1968-71) was 0.9% in 113 aortoiliac operations and nil in 96 femoropopliteal operations.Immediate patency rates on dismissal from hospital exceeded 95%, and the five-year patency rate for aortoiliac operations was just over 70% and for femoropopliteal operations 60%.

Acute arterial occlusion and the contraceptive pill.

Two female patients in their thirties suffered peripheral arterial occlusion, in close association with the ingestion of the oral contraceptive pill. While current investigative technique cannot directly implicate the pill, it is felt that in the two patients presented it was an important aetiological factor, no co-existing arterial pathology being detected.
