[Angiological criteria of the functional capacity in arterial occlusive diseases of extremities after vascular surgery]. / Angiologische Kriterien der Leistungsfähigkeit arteriell durchblutungsgestörter Extremitäten nach gefässrekonstruktiven Eingriffen

In order to avoid wrong estimations of the functional capacity of extremities with successfully reconstructed vessels in angioorganopathies, the use of reliable angiological measuring sizes in a broad spectrum is needed. Oscillography and longitudinal rheography as well as determinations of the arterial blood pressure deliver such qualitatively reliable parameters. For the judgment of the postreconstructive functional capacity one must not renounce the occlusion plethysmography of the veins which delivers quantitative measuring sizes. Other disturbances of the organs by the vascular basic disease present and concomitant diseases of middle and older age independent on the basic disease must always be taken into consideration in the general judgment.
