[Echography in the diagnosis of aneurysms of the abdominal aorta].

The principles of echography and its technique are briefly explanded, and 8 personal cases examined for suspected aneurysm of the abdominal aorta are presented. Correct and accurate diagnosis was obtained in cases. In 1 case, aortography was also performed, though its findings were less clear. It is felt that the applications of echography can usefully be extended to the screening, diagnosis and control of this form.

Angioplasty of the profunda femoris in revascularisation of the lower extremity.

Excellent results with respect to preservation of the limb and improvement of claudication were obtained with profundaplasty in 29 patients with Fontaine's stage III or IV chronic obliteration. The method is regarded as one of choice for saving the limb, but not as a replacement for other methods of direct revascularisation of the femoropopliteal axis in cases where complete functional recovery is also required. A comparison is made between the results of profundaplasty and reconstruction of the axis in a personal series.

[Laser-assisted angioplasty in the treatment of obliterations of the iliac-femoral axis].

In the last years, intraluminal techniques and instrumentations grown from the primitive concept of balloon angioplasty, have made an incredible leap among these techniques, Laser assisted balloon angioplasty plays, in selected cases, an important role in the treatment of vascular occlusive disease. The focus of this report will be to present the preliminary experience of the authors about the use of this technique, in the treatment of 18 patients with atherosclerotic occlusive iliac-femoro-popliteal disease. In spite of short number of cases; they try to focalize indications, limits and principal complications of the technique.
