Pseudo-occlusion of the external iliac artery after stenting.

A patient with an unknown thoracic aortic coarctation underwent angiography for calf claudication. Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting of an external iliac artery (EIA) stenosis produced flow reversal in the EIA, mimicking occlusion on the angiogram. This aberrant situation resulted from a haemodynamic disbalance between the iliac flow and a dominant compensatory collateral flow through the inferior mammary-epigastric channel produced by the coarctation

Colour Doppler sonography of the temporal arteries in giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica.

OBJECTIVE: To test the diagnostic value of color Doppler sonography (CDS) of the superficial temporal arteries in patients suffering from giant cell arteritis (GCA). METHODS: The superficial temporal arteries and their frontal and parietal rami were examined by CDS in 11 patients with GCA, 21 patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), and 32 controls. The peak systolic velocity (Vmax) was measured at the tragus (proximal superficial temporal artery) and at the temporal bone (distal superficial temporal artery) level. Hypoechoic thickening of the vessel wall was systematically searched for. RESULTS: Mean Vmax in the proximal and distal superficial temporal artery was considerably lower in the GCA group [mean (+/- SEM) 30.9 (+/- 5.6) mm/s proximally and 5.8 (+/- 3.7) mm/s distally] compared to the PMR group [mean (+/- SEM) 64.6 (+/- 3.8) mm/s proximally and 49.3 (+/- 4.2) mm/s distally] and the control group [mean (+/- SEM) 56.9 (+/- 2.2) mm/s proximally and 42.6 (+/- 2.2) distally]. Thickening of the vessel wall was found in only 2 patients: one with GCA and one with PMR. Followup of CDS in 6 GCA patients under treatment produced evidence of a significant increase in the mean Vmax at the distal site. CONCLUSION: Decreased blood flow velocity in the superficial temporal artery is very common in GCA patients and rare in PMR patients. Therefore, CDS examination may contribute to the diagnosis of GCA

[Follow-up of TIPS: Assessment of signs of dysfunction at Doppler sonography]

Purpose : to assess the signs of TIPS dysfunction at Doppler sonography. Materials and methods : retrospective study of signs observed in 106 TIPS including 31 TIPS with dysfunction (portoauricular pressure gradient >12 mmHg). Results : the signs of TIPS dysfunction were a decrease in the mean velocity in the TIPS (for a velocity or = 1 m/sec). Conclusion : the most sensitive Doppler signs of tips dysfunction are the indirect signs of stenosis
