Abstract:
:The nephrocholedochoscope designed for inspection of the ductal system of the urinary and bladder tracts has proved to be a useful method for examining the denuded vessel wall after limited blind endarterectomy. This technic is especially helpful in endarterectomy of the common iliac arteries and also has application in surgery of the profunda femoris, renal artery, and internal carotid artery.
