The technique used in sequential fluorescein angiography of the upper extremities is described. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the method are exemplified and discussed in regard to its applicability in diagnosis of organic arterial obliterations, e.g. in Raynaud's phenomenon as well as to its usefulness in evaluation of reconstructive arterial surgery and medical treatment with respectively thrombolytic (Brinase, Astra) and microhaemorheologic agents (Venoruton, Zyma; Arwin, Knoll) or those with an influence on systemic haemodynamic factors as in induced hypertension. The importance of standardized experimental conditions is emphasized, particularly with reference to vasodilatation. The method represents a new possibility of obtaining clinically a functional over-all information on the nutritional blood flow of rather extensive skin areas. Also, it can illustrate the interaction between macro- and microcirculation. Segmental macrovascular occlusions without concomitant damage of the corresponding terminal vascular area mainly cause a prolongation of the fluorescence appearance time. Obstruction of the microvascular blood flow reveals itself as more definite changes in the fluorescence pattern of the affected skin areas.
