Studies in Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

Abstract
Material for an analysis of the pathogenesis and course of acute peripheral arterial occlusion was provided by patients with acute arterial occlusion in a lower extremity, special arterial injection studies of amputated limbs, arteriograms performed on cadavers, and data from an experimental investigation of acute femoral artery embolism in dogs. This correlative study offers a basis for the evaluation of procedures recommended for the prophylaxis and treatment of acute ischemia.
