Abstract

An ultrasonic measurement of the superficial femoral artery wall thickness was performed on 16 volunteers. The measurement included all echogenic tissue between the lumen of the superficial femoral artery and the lumen of the superficial femoral vein. The average arterial wall plus vein wall thickness in volunteers with peripheral arterial disease was 2.13 +/- 0.87 mm, significantly greater than the 1.27 +/- 0.50 mm found in those without detectable peripheral arterial disease.
