The role of laser energy in the treatment of thrombotic vascular occlusion was evaluated in two sets of experiments. First, 10 polytetrafluoroethylene grafts were used to replace segments of the superficial femoral arteries in dogs and were thrombosed by distal ligation. Occlusion was maintained for

Before undertaking a femoro-popliteal bypass graft it is important to know whether the popliteal artery is patent to receive the distal end of the graft. Patency was assessed in 48 studies of 46 patients with peripheral vascular disease by radio-nuclide angiography. The procedure consists of imaging
Percutaneous atherectomy was performed using the Simpson Atherocatho on 131 patients (87 male, 66%) with a mean age of 65 years. Clinical characteristics included evidence of significant coronary disease in 50%, hypertension in 46%, diabetes in 41%, and prior neurologic deficit in 32% of patients. T
## Abstract An assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of thermography in arterial disease of the lower limb is reported. By comparing the arteriographic and thermographic appearances of 52 patients, three independent observers had overall agreement of interpretation in approximately 50 per cent of c
