Publisher: Place of publishing: Date issued/created: Type of object: Abstract:Resting blood-flow in the calf was measured by venous occlusion plethysmography in 10 controls and in 19 patients with large vessel obstruction before and after arterial reconstruction. In those patients in whom the operation was successful, all but 2 showed a marked increase in resting flow which was apparent within 24 hours of operation. The hyperaemia developed after either thrombo-endarterectomy or by-pass grafting and was greatest in those patients with most severe ischaemia. In 2 patients in whom the graft thrombosed, the hyperaemia disappeared. A possible explanation for this postoperative hyperaemia on the basis of increased transmural pressure and reduced flow cessation pressure is suggested.We wish to thank Professor R. B. Welbourn for his advice about the preparation of this paper, Miss Mary Hawkins and Mrs. C. Giessler for typing the manuscript, and Mr. Ernest Gaines for technical assistance.
