New Doppler pressure indexes plotted as curves. Curve configuration used to determine sites of arterial obstruction

J D Colt. Am J Surg. 1978 Aug.

Abstract

Brachial, femoral (in the groin), popliteal, and tibial systolic blood pressures were determined with the Doppler technic. New indexes were developed: femoral/brachial (B/B), popliteal/femoral (P/F), ankle/femoral (A/F), and ankle/popliteal (A/P). Curves were plotted using these indexes and compared with established configurations. As a result the site or sites of obstruction were rapidly determined.
