Abstract
Spiral blood-flow patterns in infrainguinal blood-vessels were observed at angioscopy in 54 patients who underwent peripheral vascular reconstruction; the endoluminal surface had spiral folds in 51 of 75 arteries examined. Spiral flow patterns, congruous with inherent endoluminal anatomical features, might more accurately represent blood-flow in infrainguinal arteries than current models of laminar flow.
