[Inter-observer variability in the interpretation of arteriographies of the carotid arteries and lower limbs].

This study attempts to measure inter-observer variability in reading 14 carotid angiograms and 8 aortograms. 24 surgeons and radiographs with training in arterial diseases participated in the study from different hospitals. The results were analysed with the Kappa statistical method which incorporate a correction for the extend of agreement expected by chance alone, in the evaluation of the reliability of diagnostic procedures. From a topographic point of view, the interpretation of the proximal arterial segments is more reliable than the distal segments, with the exception of the aorto-iliac bifurcation and the profunda femoral arteries. Inter-observer agreement is the most important for the occlusive lesions and the identification of stenosis is of poor reliability.

[Lumbar phelbography without catheterization. Technic, indications and results in the diagnosis of intervertebral disk herniation].

The authors present a new method of lumbar phlebology without catheterism by direct venous puncture of the femoral veins. An analysis of 300 contrast tests maked it possible to identify different types of pathological images characterized by disappearance and displacement of epidural veins corresponding as a rule to discal hernia when the uncharacteristic shadowy images do not allow one to make a precise conclusion or to determine whether an operation is needed. With equal reliability (96 percent), lumbar phlebography without catheterism is, by its simplicity and harmlessness and the absence of minor and major venous complications, preferable to phlebography by catheterism. Carried out in all subjects, whatever their age, without special precautions, it seems to us to now be the most desirable test to be used in the radiological investigation of lumbar discal hernias.

[Therapeutic arterial embolization in hemobilia. Apropos of 3 cases].

Three patients with bleeding into the bile ducts were explored by angiography. Two of them (severe post-operative bleeding and following needle-biopsy of the liver) were completely cured by highly selective arterial embolus production. No definite diagnosis was established in the third case (liver angioma with large artero-portal fistula). It can be seen from these observations, that angiography is essential in patients with bleeding into the bile ducts. The reason is not to establish the diagnosis but to find the precise location of the lesion and, under certain conditions, to apply radical treatment by highly selective arterial embolus production.

Transluminal angioplasty of failing infrainguinal arterial by-pass grafts: initial and long-term results in 13 patients.

Thirteen stenotic infrainguinal arterial bypasses (12 venous, 1 Gore-tex graft) were treated by transluminal angioplasty, either percutaneously (10 patients) or surgically (3 patients). Eleven procedures were immediately successful (two at the proximal portions of femoropopliteal grafts, six near the distal anastomoses, and three at the distal parts of femoroinfrapopliteal grafts) and dilated stenoses are still patent with a mean duration of 24 months in all patients except 2 who died during the follow-up period. The calculated cumulative patency rate is 85% at 36 months. Two procedures were followed by immediate disruption near the distal end of an in situ saphenous bypass graft where balloon inflation was performed. These required immediate surgical repair. Dilatation of the distal ends of in situ saphenous femoropopliteal bypasses may not be as safe as in other locations.
