[Iliaco-crural bypass through a borehole in the iliac fossa as extra-anatomic vascular bypass in infected inguinal canal and posterior aspect of the knee]. / Der durch ein Bohrloch in der Beckenschaufel geführte iliaco-crurale Bypass als extraanatomische Gefässumleitung der infizierten Leiste und Kniekehle.

In case of inguinal and medio-genual wound infections with menaced vitality of the lower limb, the extraanatomical, iliaco-crural bypass, passing a borehole in the iliac bone, seems to be a practicable procedure to secure perfusion. The distal anastomosis to the anterior tibial artery, as performed by the authors, can also be performed to the other arteries of the lower leg. This article reviews these indications as well as the technique of operation and short-term results.

[Hemodynamic changes after angiotensin II blockade by saralasin (author's transl)]. / Hämodynamische Veränderungen nach Hemmung des Renin-Angiotensin-Systems durch Saralasin.

Saralasin, an angiotensin II inhibitor was infused in 10 hypertensive patients. A blood pressure reduction was achieved after stimulation of the renin-angiotensin-system by salt depletion. Heart rate and cardiac output failed to compensate for reduction of blood pressure. Thus circulatory reflex-mechanisms are inhibited by saralasin. A direct influence on baroreceptor mechanism and/or catecholamines is probable. Failure of the hypotensive effect of saralasin in salt-depleted patients after administration of beta-blockers supports this hypothesis.
