Abstract
We aimed to investigate the extent to which measurements of flow volume (FV) with colour flow duplex ultrasonography (CDU) could predict tissue perfusion. A 68 year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic complaining of intermittent claudication in the right leg. Digital subtraction angiography showed total occlusion of the right femoral artery. The right popliteal artery (PA) was filling by collaterals. CDU showed that the FV in the right PA was higher than in the left. Arterial-venous FV measurement with CDU should be performed rather than the detection of arterial stenosis to assess whether intervention is necessary.
