Angiología es una revista científica bimensual editada desde 1949. Está dedicada al estudio de las enfermedades vasculares, incluyendo todos los aspectos la medicina vascular, el diagnóstico no invasivo, tratamiento quirúrgico tradicional arterial y venoso, así como mínimamente invasivo y/o endovascular.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The axillary artery is the anatomical reference, in the surface, for axillary brachial plexus block. Anatomic studies suggest variability in the location of the structures in the brachial plexus in relation to the axillary artery. These variations can hinder blocks by neurostimulation. The ultrasound allows the identification of the structures within the brachial plexu...

MDs (mitochondrial diseases) are a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by impairment of the respiratory chain function with altered oxidative phosphorylation. We tested the hypothesis that the function of vascular endothelium is affected by increased oxidative stress in MDs. A total of 12 patients with MDs and pair-matched controls were studied. Endothelial function was as...

Naylor, Louise H., Cara J. Weisbrod, Gerry O’Driscoll, and Daniel J. Green. Measuring peripheral resistance and conduit arterial structure in humans using Doppler ultrasound. J Appl Physiol 98: 2311–2315, 2005. First published February 3, 2005; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.01047.2004.— The purpose of this study was to establish valid indexes of conduit and resistance vessel structure in humans by u...

OBJECTIVE Whether the dimensions of conduit arteries contribute to the time course of change in blood flow during voluntary rhythmic exercise, and the mechanisms governing such a response in humans, are not known. METHODS The time course of change in the vascular and blood flow dynamics in the brachial artery during the transition between rest and 5 min of rhythmic handgrip exercise was asses...

A prospective evaluation of catheter-induced arterial injury was canied out in 100 consecutive patients who anderwenZ 104 cardiac catheterizations via the brachial artery. Tbe Doppler ultrasonic v e l o c i detector was utillzed to noninvspively assess brachial, radial and ulnar arterial signals and pre88ure& Brachial artery o h c tions occurred in 18 patients (17 percent), two-thirds of whom h...

BACKGROUND To know the epidemiology (prevalence, incidence, progression and morbidity and mortality associated) of peripheral artery disease in general population and the factors associated with this progression is essential to know the evolution of atherosclerosis and develop preventive strategies. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of PAD after 5 years of follow-up population...

During our routine dissection studies we observed arterial, neural and muscular variations in the upper limbs of an adult male cadaver. In this case we observed the superficial brachial artery origination from the third part of the axillary artery, communications between the musculocutaneous and median nerves, variant formation of the brachial plexus, origination of the profunda brachii artery ...
