Common femoral artery volume flow was measured at rest and during postocclusive reactive hyperaemia in 80 normal subjects and 67 patients with radiological evidence of occlusive peripheral vascular disease. At rest, means(s.d.) common femoral artery volume flow in normal subjects (344(135) ml/min) and all patients with peripheral vascular disease (401(168) ml/min) was not significantly different. During postocclusive reactive hyperaemia, mean(s.d.) peak flow was significantly higher in normal subjects (1951(438) ml/min) than in patients with peripheral vascular disease (996(457) ml/min) (P less than 0.01). Common femoral artery volume flow in patients with critical ischaemia and intermittent claudication did not differ at rest but mean(s.d.) peak flow in patients with critical ischaemia (697(276) ml/min) was significantly lower than in claudicants (1131(447) ml/min) (P less than 0.01). Mean(s.d.) resting common femoral artery volume flow in limbs with femoropopliteal disease (457(185) ml/min) was significantly greater than that in limbs with occlusion of the aortoiliac segment (308(130) ml/min) (P less than 0.01). However, this difference did not persist during postocclusive reactive hyperaemia. A hyperaemic index, calculated from the hyperaemic responses to below knee and whole limb ischaemia, was used to quantify segmental perfusion during postocclusive reactive hyperaemia. The mean(s.d.) value in normal subjects, 46(9) per cent, and in those with aortoiliac disease, 52(12) per cent, indicated approximately equal perfusion of the above and below knee limb segments. In those with femoropopliteal disease the mean(s.d.) hyperaemic index was 17(13) per cent, revealing relative hypoperfusion of the below knee segment.
