[Value of thermography in the postoperative control in direct arterial surgery]. / Valore della termografia nel controllo postoperatorio in chirurgia arteriosa diretta.

ABSTRACT

21 patients suffering from arteriopathy of the lower extremities and treated with a variety of surgical techniques and arterial recanalization have been studied by means of pre- and post-operative angiography and thermography. After analysing the results, the value of thermography, particularly as regards assessment of the surgical results and subsequent long-term controls, is confirmed.
