[Dye dilution test to determine leakage during regional perfusion in the treatment of malignant tumors of the extremities]. / Farbstoffverdünnung zu Leakage-Bestimmung während regionaler Perfusion bei der Behandlung von malignen Tumoren der Extremitäten.

During regional perfusion of the extremity in the dog, the dye Evans blue (T 1824) was used as an indicator to control leakage from the isolated region into the systemic circulation. The rate of elimination of the dye was 10% +/- 2% per hour. A simulated leakage from the perfused region into the systemic circulation was determined with a sensitivity of 1,67%.
