'fHIS well known and excellent textbook on Peripheral Vascular Diseases has now reached its 4th Edition. The text has been largely rewritten and brought up to date with a number of new chapters. In a specialised field of medical science which has developed rapidly in recent years the contents crystallise the views of the many experts from the Mayo Clinicphysiologists, pathologists, physicians a...

Arterial Homografts for Peripheral Arteriosclerotic

Sympathectomy and thrombo-endarterectomy have been largely unsatisfactory in the treatment of patients with arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities. In this paper the results are analyzed of a large experience with the use of lyophilized arterial homografts to bridge occlusive lesions below the aortic bifurcation. The criteria for selection of patients for operation, the simplified proc...

The Digital Circulation in Peripheral Vascular Diseases.

The results are presented in Table I. In three cases of typical Raynaud's disease, one of less than one year's duration, and the others of less than extreme decrease in digital blood flow to approximately four per cent of the normal, with a correspondingly extreme increase in digital vascular resistance to the height of 1740 units (normal 63 to 96 units). The digital arterial blood presure was ...

Peripheral vascular disease : with particular stress on the early diagnosis and conservative non-operative treatment

A diagnostic marker of peripheral vascular diseases

In this work, we report the results of a project, devoted to the development of a real time analysis for noninvasive monitoring of pulse transit time values on people affected by peripheral vascular diseases. Pulse transit time was computed as the time difference between every R-peak of the electrocardiographic signal and the following photopletysmographic peak. Both types of signals were acqui...
