The historical background to angioscopy shows that the principal successes recorded by its use result from the miniaturization of fibroscopes and the progress in video imaging. The first tentative use of angioscopy was by surgeons during operations carried out at about 1970, that of percutaneous angioscopy dating from 1984. The material used for diagnostic (fibroscope, cinecamera, video system, flushing pump) and interventional (fibroscope, clamps, Dormia cage, endoprostheses ... ) angioscopy is such that the basic equipment requires an outlay of about 150 to 200,000 francs. Percutaneous angioscopy implies the insertion of a catheter allowing flushing of the arterial lumen by means of a pressurized perfusion pump which, when reversed, is transformed into an aspirating pump for removal of the clot and/or atheromatous debris. The procedure is simple and does not expose to more complications than conventional arteriography.
