Background:
To determine whether computed tomography arteriography of the lower extremities (64-slice volume computed tomography (CT)), used in delineating the arterial tree in peripheral vascular disease, is useful in assessing suitability of greater saphenous vein as a vascular conduit for peripheral bypass grafting for limb-threatening lower limb ischaemia. A search of published works in August 2005 showed no similar study has been published.
Methods:
A prospective study of nine consecutive patients who had undergone lower limb CT arteriography and long saphenous vein colour duplex ultrasound (U/S) were studied.
Results:
Good concordance between colour duplex U/S and CT arteriography was obtained.
Conclusion:
Computed tomography images of the long saphenous vein as a part of arterial lower limb CT arteriography correlate well with preoperative conduit assessment colour duplex U/S findings of the long saphenous vein.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
