[Arterial collateral ways of the limb arteries (author's transl)].

Arterial collateral ways are reviewed correlatively with five differents levels of obliteration : aortic, iliac, ilio-femoral, femoro-popliteal, dista. A double visceral and parietal supply system caracterize each obliterated level; the importance of this double system varies considerably with the site of obliteration.

Aorta

[The gastro-phrenic ligament].

The present study was carried out in order to investigate if 1) the gastrophrenic ligament was involved in gastric stabilization, 2) the surface of this ligament might be influenced by fundus distension induced by the first deglutition of the newborn. In a series of 23 subjects (15 adults, 8 foetuses) the surface of the gastrophrenic ligament was expressed in % of the postero-inferior surface of the stomach. The gastrophrenic ligament consisted of loose areolar tissue and its surface was rather small (5,89% +/- 3,8 in adults; 4,3% +/- 1,5 in the foetus). These facts led us to conclude that this ligament did not play a very important role in gastric stabilization. Furthermore the difference between adults and foetuses was not statistically significant; so the surface of the ligament could not have been changed at birth.

Adult

[Substitute pathways of the arterial system of the lower extremities].

Some ideas emphazied by RENARD and his collaborators were rediscovered.--Anastomosis doesnt always signify compensation and it is often difficult to appreciate the functional importance of the anastomoses shown by arteriographies.--The most valuable compensations are made by short ways. Long ways only come into action when the shorter are obliterated. Finally a certain number of arteries play an important role in the compensatory circulation, that is:--the system of lumbar arteries--the hypogastric artery--the origin of the deep femoral artery.

Arteries

[Thromboembolic risks and surgery for varicose veins].

The authors carried out a study on 53 patients operated on for varices with the object of determining the risk of postoperative thromboembolism. They tried to answer three questions : 1) What is the magnitude of the risk of thromboembolism after this kind of surgery? 2) What is the value of the different methods of detection available? 3) What attitude should be adopted towards therapy, not of thromboembolism as a complication, but of the threat of thromboembolism?
