Arteriomegaly

Abstract

The angiographic and clinical findings in 30 patients with smoothly dilated, tortuous, elongated arteries with a slow blood-flow on arteriography are presented. In many patients there was a short history of intermittent claudication, and in some a tendency to peripheral embolism and gangrene. Twenty patients (66 per cent) had aneurysms. The term ‘arteriomegaly’ is suggested, as the aetiology of the condition is not clearly defined.
