15. Early Experience with a New PTFE Graft below the Inguinal Ligament
Between July 1984 and July 1985, 65 expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts (Vitagraft®) were implanted in the infrainguinal position in 51 patients, including 41 men and 10 women, with an average age of 63 years. The indications for surgery were severe claudication (36 grafts) or ischemic necrosis of the extremities (29 grafts). Thirteen of the patients (2

16. Percutaneous Laser-Assisted Balloon Angioplasty of Lower-Extremity Arterial Disease in a Free-Standing Laboratory: Clinical Experience with 100 Cases
From September 1987 through May 1988, 86 patients (62 men and 24 women) underwent percutaneous laser-assisted balloon angioplasty, and 2 patients (1 man and 1 woman) underwent laser-assisted balloon angioplasty via cutdowns, in our free-standing catheterization laboratory. The patients' ages ranged from 36 to 81 years. One hundred limbs were treated; each ha

17. Aspergillus flavus endaortitis following aortic valvotomy
Aspergillar endaortitis does not seem to have been described before in the English literature. Our patient had undergone aortic valvotomy and subsequently developed leg pains, migratory arthralgias, periarticular swelling, and general malaise. Mild intermittent pyrexia, evanescent petechiae, splinter haemorrhages, and peripheral small artery occlusion charac

18. Hot-Tip Laser Angioplasty: A Review of the Texas Heart Institute Experience
At the Texas Heart Institute, from October 1986 to October 1988, laser thermal angioplasty was used in conjunction with balloon angioplasty for treatment of 201 atherosclerotic vascular lesions in 162 patients. All patients had significant symptoms or impending limb loss. Most of the occlusions (148) were located in the superficial femoral artery; the clinic

19. Endoluminal grafting in the treatment of iliac and superficial femoral artery disease.
Treatment of iliac artery disease with stents has been generally successful; however, disease in the smaller arteries below the inguinal ligament has been more resistant to percutaneous intervention techniques. Ongoing research is evaluating the potential value of newer, more flexible stents as well as the use of covered endoluminal grafts to "reline" diseas

20. Behcet's syndrome in 32 patients in Yorkshire.
Thirty-two patients with Behcet's syndrome were surveyed clinically, radiologically, and immunologically. HLA antigens were determined in a proportion. The patients were culled from a defined geographical area (Yorkshire) with a population of 5 million. 21 patients satisfied Mason and Barnes's (1969) criteria for major disease. 100% had mouth ulceration, 91%

21. Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty after Cardiac Transplantation
This report describes the 1st use of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in a posttransplant patient at the Texas Heart Institute. The patient, a 44-year-old man, experienced 3 episodes of moderate allograft rejection, hypercholesterolemia, transient severe hyperglycemia, and transient severe renal insufficiency in the posttransplant period. His c

22. Arterial tortuosity in the femoropopliteal region during knee flexion: a magnetic resonance angiographic study.
Dynamic changes in curvature are expected in the femoropopliteal region during knee flexion. The location of the artery dorsal to the axis of movement implicates a relative length excess that may influence local morphology. To study arterial morphology in vivo, magnetic resonance angiography was performed in 22 healthy volunteers (aged 23-68 y). The curvatur

23. Lower extremity arterial disease in young adults. A systematic approach to early diagnosis.
General and vascular surgeons are consulted occasionally to evaluate young adults with ischemia of the lower extremity. Between 1975 and 1985, 51 adults under 40 years of age who had arterial occlusive disease of the lower limb were managed. Although premature atherosclerosis was the most common problem (50%), claudication or limb-threatening ischemia also r

24. EVERSION ENDARTERECTOMY: A NEW APPLICATION OF AN OLD TECHNIQUE
Restoration of arterial flow to a severely ischemic extremity remains a major challenge in vascular surgery. The procedure of choice for limb salvage is a bypass utilizing reversed saphenous vein. When the saphenous vein is unsuitable or unavailable, the surgeon must turn to endarterectomy of the femoral and popliteal systems or synthetic, composite, heterol
