Purpose: Photo-optical TCpO2 (pTCpO2) has been proposed as a new method to determine the partial oxygen pressure of the lower extremity in patients with peripheral arterial disease. It is aimed to determine the level of agreement between pTCpO2 and the traditional electro-chemical transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement (eTCpO2).
Methods: Eighteen patients with intermittent claudication underwent simultaneous ankle-brachial index measurement, toe-pressure, pTCpO2 and eTCpO2 tests.
