[Ultrasonic vascular scanning in the diagnosis of acute arterial obstruction].

In thrombosis of the aorta and major arteries (52 cases), postthrombotic occlusion (26), arterial embolism (14), the ultrasound vascular scanning++ was performed. The method permits to define the presence and location of arterial occlusion, differentiate thrombosis and embolism, atherosclerotic and autoimmune diseases of the vessels and as well to assess the outcome of restorative and reconstructive operations in acute arterial obstruction.
