BACKGROUND: Interest of blood flow and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) to evaluate result of iliac angioplasty. METHODS: ABPI and blood flow rates were measured before and after angioplasty in 22 lower extremities of 16 patients with iliac stenosis. Blood flow rates were determined by means of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) flow meter. RESULTS: The day after angioplasty, flow and pressure were increasing significantly, whereas a month later, only blood flow was increasing significantly. In a group of patients with near-normal ABPI before angioplasty (ABPI > or = 0.8), there was, on the day following the angioplasty, a significant increase in ABPI and pulsatile blood flow rates; flow rates increased considerably a month after the operation whereas ABPI stay stable. In a group of patients with clearly abnormal ABPI before angioplasty (ABPI <0.80), there was a significant increase in ABPI and blood flow rates the day after angioplasty and again a month later. CONCLUSIONS: Flow therefore seems to vary independently of pressure. The possible use of flow measurement to detect restenoses is yet to be studied. |
