Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Coronal tomographic reconstructions in arterial phase show (A) Complete occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (thin arrow). Some atheroma plaques are depicted distal to the occluded segment. External iliac arteries (thick arrows) are perfused by collaterals. (B) Robust anastomosis are seen between inferior and superior epigastric arteries (thin arrow). Significant collateral circulation is detected in inferior epigastric arteries (thick arrow).
Figure 2
Figure 2
Doppler waveform of right and left external iliac arteries reveals decreased systolic velocities, increased acceleration times and peripheral vasodilatation. This pattern is called ‘tardus parvus’ and indicates the presence of a clinically significant proximal obstruction.
