Place of intravenous arteriography with non-numerized processing in vascular pathology and surgery. Results of 424 investigations.

424 intra-venous arteriographies with non-numerized photographic subtraction have been carried out in 304 patients. Exploration concerned supra-aortic trunks in 204 cases, abdominal aorta in 107 cases, arteries of the lower limbs in 89 cases, thoracic aorta in 19 cases and arteries of the upper limbs in 5 cases. Technique is described, indications, results, complications and limits of the method are discussed for each explored area. This method is an interesting contribution as a morphological, slightly invasive evaluation of arterial lesions when computerized systems are not available.

[Proposed treatment of the Urrets-Zavalia syndrome. A propos of one reversible case].

Regression of Urrets-Zavalia's syndrome was obtained in one case after treatment administered according to a strict sequence following keratoplasty for keratoconus: sympatholytic drops (guanethidine 5%-Ismelin) every 4 hours for 24 hours, followed the next day, when mydriasis had been slightly reduced, by parasympathomimetic drops (pilocarpine 2%). Marked myosis was observed and treatment discontinued. This resulted in recurrence of the mydriasis, but this was successfully treated by repeating therapy. Pilocarpine drops were progressively diminished, followed by a slow reduction of guanethidine drops over 8 weeks, resulting in only slight residual anisocoria. This treatment is based on the physiopathological concept of sympathetic spasm with parasympathetic inhibition, and it is suggested that reduction of spasm should be obtained before administration of therapy to stimulate the sphincter. Pharmacological data on the compounds employed are discussed.
