RESUMO
A retrospective review of 12 surgically proved cases of pancreatic pseudocyst was performed. CT correctly demonstrated 6/8 uncomplicated pseudocysts and 4/4 infected pseudocysts. Ultrasound identified 7/8 uncomplicated and 2/4 infected pseudocysts. Errors by one modality are due to limitations not shared by the other method. This suggests a basis for the complementary use of CT scanning and ultrasound in the evaluation of suspected pancreatic pseudocysts.

Pre-operative evaluation of the deep femoral artery is important in determining surgical treatment of aortofemoral disease. We reviewed 16 years' experience in bilateral aorto-femoral by-pass grafting and found that 63.2% of stenoses of the deep femoral arteries seen at surgery had been missed on conventional antero-posterior arteriograms. These findings demonstrate the inadequacy of a single, antero-posterior projection and the need for supplementary views in assessing lesions of the deep femoral artery.
