A reassessment of Doppler pressure indices in the detection of arterial lesions in proximity penetrating injuries of extremities: A prospective study

This prospective study assessed the role of Doppler pressure indices (Ankle-Brachial Index [ABI] or Brachial Brachial Index [BBI]) in the evaluation for occult arterial injury from penetrating proximity extremity trauma (PET). A total of 298 patients with 323 PETs were evaluated by physical examinat...
