[Evaluation of the status of the distal arterial bed in occlusive lesions of major arteries of the extremities].

Kinesomanometry of the arterial bed was used as a diagnostic procedure allowing the assessment of resistance of the distal arterial bed before the reconstructive step of operation in 137 patients, subjected to restorative operation on major arteries. The method facilitates prognosis of early thrombosis of the vascular prosthesis.
