Operations to restore circulation in peripheral arteries occluded by arteriosclerotic disease have now been around long enough so that it should be possible to examine these new procedures objectively without "the moonlight and roses."Blood vessel anastomosis was described by Alexis Carrel1in 1902. Arteriography and aortography were standardized by R. Dos Santos2in 1929. The development of these accurate diagnostic methods made feasible the introduction of endarterectomy...1 Carrel A: Direct anastomosis of blood vessels by end-to-end union, Lyon méd. 93: 859, 1902.
