ABSTRACT
Angioscopy is a technique of endoscopic investigation of the vascular lumen and its contents, which we have coupled with iliac and femoral angioplasty. The material comprises 3 main elements: the angioscope, the TV-monitoring assembly and the infusion system. No complication was recorded in a series of 94 angioscopies (47 iliac, 44 distal femoral and 3 grafts) performed over a period of 18 months. The technical quality of the images obtained was good in 90% of cases (85/94). Angioscopy revealed lesions that had either been nonvisualized or underrated by angiography, and played a determinant role in 16% of cases (15/94), whereby the therapeutical procedure could be modified accordingly.
