This study was conducted in Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery between January 2013-February 2014. 49 patients (7 female, 42 male) with lower extremity arterial symptoms between the ages of 41-93 (mean age; 63,83±12,75) were involved in the study.Lower extremity angiograms of the patient were performed by Digital Subtraction Anjiography (DSA ) and 128 multidedector BT angiography with 9.3 days intervals in average and these two methods were compared. Statistical correlation was investigated between the claudicasio and AB index measurements in patients. The relation between the age, gender, cigarette smoking and DM were evaluated.There was no statistically significant difference between BT angiography and DSA in evaluation of infrarenal peripheric arterial disease (p 0.05). AB index and claudicasio measurements demonstrated significantly negative correlation with the stenosis percentage in BT angiography and DSA evaluation results In conclusion, BT angiography can be thougt as an alternative imaging method of DSA in evaluation of infrarenal peripheric arterial disease of lower extremity.
