Usefulness of Blood Flow Measurement Device Using Bioelectrical Impedance Plethysmography in Lower-Extremity Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bioelectrical impedance plethysmography (IPG) for measuring human body fraction and disease has been progressing in the past half-century, and few studies have reported lower-extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in recent years.

Methods and results

The present study enrolled patients who underwent examinations for LEAD. IPG with venous occlusion was performed, and flow volumes were compared with those measured using Doppler duplex ultrasonography, the ankle-brachial index (ABI), and assessments of arterial stenosis and collaterals using computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance angiographies. Fifty patients suspected of LEAD were enrolled; 15 had no arterial stenosis and 35 had LEAD. Arterial blood flow volume (BFV) was assessed. Although the area under the curve
