Sensibilidad, especificidad y fiabilidad de la ecografía Doppler arterial en el diagnóstico de la isquemia crítica de los miembros inferiores con relación a la arteriografía

In the light of the results obtained in our laboratory, ADU can be considered to be a diagnostic test that is very useful as an alternative to arteriography, since its reliability is good or very good and its validity, in terms of sensitivity, specificity, PPV and DLR, is very high. Yet, in the distal sector, with special attention to the fibular artery, another imaging test must always be carried out before setting an indication for surgery.
