Abstract

By D. E. STRANDNESS, JR., M.D. Peripheral Vascular Service, Veterans Administration Hospital and Department of Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington Pathological alterations in blood flow develop in response to a wide variety of diseases which affect both the macro- and microcirculation. To attempt to cover all aspects of this problem is simply not possible in a brief review. For this reason I will confine my comments to those flow abnor­ malities that occur secondary to atherosclerosis which involves the large and medium sized arteries of the lower extremities. Material for a review of this type can be found in two different types of reports. The first deals almost exclusively with the results of clinical experience and are usually intended to document the results of treatment. The second type of communication deals with investigative studies that have been undertaken to clarify or answer some of the current unknown aspects of a particular problem.
