Computerized processing of data from patients with cerebro-vascular disease should improve interpretation of results of complementary examinations by allowing their comparison with arteriography and operative findings. It should also allow comparison of postoperative clinical and angiographic findings in order to analyse results obtained in an identical manner, and to provide a basis for discussion of therapeutic indications. Spontaneous evolution of atheromatous lesions can finally be compared with the course after surgery.

The effectiveness of drugs to improve the walking distance in intermittent claudication patients is looked into five points: pathophysiology, drugs, methodology of clinical trials, sample survey among the members of the hemodynamic section of the French College of Vascular Diseases and biometric aspects. Finally, some important points of a clinical trial in this field are presented.

The authors studied the variation in tcPO2 during a stress test conducted on a treadmill in normal subjects and in patients with stage I and II vascular disease according to Fontaine's classification. The tcPO2 was measured in the foot. In normal subjects, during exercise, there was an inital fluctuation in the tcPO2 which subsequently remained stable. In patients with arterial disease, the tcPO2 was variable. During the recovery phase, the tcPO2 gradually decreased to its previous level in normal subjects, but in patients with arterial disease, it abruptly fell to below its original value and then gradually returned to this value. This fall and the recovery time are related to the degree of arterial insufficiency in the limb examined. The end of the pain on effort coincides with the beginning of the increase in tcPO2. These findings, during the recovery phase, are related, according to the authors, to the oxygen debt of the muscle masses situated proximally to the point of recording.

The nail is part of the ungual unit; it is affected indirectly and late in vascular disease. The authors recall the anatomy and the blood supply of the ungual unit and describe the alterations in terms of the level of the lesion. They describe the changes seen in systemic diseases such as the collagen disease, in vascular disease, venous, arterial and lymphatic disease and in vascular acrosyndromes. These alterations are often a result of several diseases, but may, nevertheless, help orient the diagnosis.

A better use of the methods of compression in vascular disease would be based on a progression of the available techniques: fixed compression, elastic bandages, elastic stockings, so that one can pass from one degree to another, but only in the direction indicated, except in the case of regression of the disease, when treatment of the previous stage would be required. One should never replace elastic stockings by elastic bandages except in the case of regression, nor the bandage by the boot, except when the bandage fails. On the other hand, a favourable clinical evolution means that the boot can be replaced by the bandage, the bandage by the stocking, or directly from the boot to the stocking. The optimal choice of the method of compression is made from this progressive range on the basis of the evaluation of the severity of the vascular disorders.

Transluminal angioplasty has currently acquired a freedom of a city in which the indications still remain to be defined. It is important to control results, to keep in mind the general context of the vascular disease, and to consider that transluminal dilatation is a technique of arterial reconstruction to which the same general principles as for other reconstructive therapies should be applied, particularly in atheromatous disease.

A pilot project with medical, physical and psychosocial evaluation and a physical and psychosocial rehabilitation program included 59 men, under age 60, inactive for less than one year and who underwent aortocoronary bypass surgery between november 1978 and march 1980. A control group of 60 comparable patients was studied by questionnaire one year after the operation. The percentage of return-to-work was not significatively different: respectively 92 p. 100 and 89 p. 100. A previous study on a similar population determined 9 predictive sociodemographic and medical factors: age, angina class, duration of symptoms, associated vascular disease, non cardiovascular illness, education, physical workload, length of preoperative unemployment, annual income. The evaluations of this study showed the importance of the psychosocial factors and alcoholism. In comparison with our previous studies, the increased percentage of return-to-work (from 69 p. 100 to 89 p. 100) is mostly due to a shorter preoperative period of inactivity; the percentage of patients operated on within three months of inactivity increased from 44 p. 100 to 74 p. 100 in the last ten years. In the group of patients with a good or excellent preoperative prognosis, 94 p. 100 were working after one year. We conclude that a strategy for improving return-to-work after surgery is to decrease the period of preoperative inactivity. By using nine objective predictive factors and a psychosocial evaluation, it is possible to screen patients with a poor return-to-work prognosis and to submit them to an individualized rehabilitation program.

The injection of 80 mg of Papaverine into one of the corpora cavernosa of the penis produces an erectile response which is proportional to the local haemodynamic conditions. On the basis of this test, the investigation of penile rigidity coupled with Doppler velocity studies permit cases of impotence due to vascular disease to be differentiated from other abnormalities of erection. The intensity of the response is proportional to the quality of the local vascular reaction. The intense vaso-dilatation of the cavernous arteries leads the author to propose the use of this drug and this route of administration in the treatment of certain cases of poor erection due to arterial disease.

Both micro and macro-angiopathy involve interaction of blood vessel and plasma factors which may be altered in diabetes. Little is known concerning changes in contact and fibrinolysis factors as prekallikrein, plasminogen and fast antiplasmin in diabetes. We tested also the plasminogen/antiplasmin ratio in 151 diabetics and 64 normal subjects (18 to 74 years old). Our conclusion is:--the absence of correlation between the clinical characteristic of diabetes and prekallikrein level,--the decrease of plasminogen/antiplasmin ratio in complicated diabetes,--in complicated diabetes, correlation between antithrombin III, VIII factor and fibrinogen levels, perhaps, in relation with inflammation signs.

The most frequent cause of acute ischaemia of the lower limbs is arterial: thrombotic, embolic and spastic. In cases of arterial embolism, the site of origin is the left side of the heart in 9 cases out of 10: ischaemic heart disease in 2/3 of cases, with atrial fibrillation (A.F.) in 50% of cases, rheumatic valvular disease with A.F. in 1/5 of cases and more rarely, idiopathic A.F., auricular disease and cardiomyopathies. Arterial emboli can be fragments from a wall thrombus (aortic or arterial aneurysm), or atheromatous material from an ulcerated plaque. In 11% of cases the origin of the embolus is never found. Arterial thrombosis is due to chronic vascular disease in 1/3 of cases, popliteal aneurysm and thromboangiitis obliterans. The iatrogenic causes are rare: use of the arterial route, and arterial prosthesis, accidental intra-arterial injection during sclerotherapy for varicose veins. Arterial spasm is seen in cases of phlegmatia caerulea dolens. It ben be iatrogenic (ergotamine tartrate, dihydroergotamine, methysergide), toxic (L.S.D.) or spontaneous.
