Abstract
Summary. The accuracy in determining the level of haemodynamically significant occlusive arterial disease (stenosis of ≥50%) in the leg by a combination of segmental blood pressure measurements and evaluation of pulses with the Doppler shift technique was assessed in 50 patients (100 legs), using angiography as the reference method. For aorto-iliac disease the sensitivity was 72%, the specificity 97% and the diagnostic accuracy 87%. For femoro-popliteal disease the corresponding figures were 87%, 78% and 85%, respectively. The accuracy of a positive diagnosis was 93% for both levels. Similar results were obtained for combined aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal disease. The accuracy in detecting calf disease was poor.
