Abstract
Aorto-femoral angiography carried out in 839 patients revealed that 139 males and females had uni- or bilateral occlusion of the common or external iliac arteries. Pelvic or lumbar/intercostal arteries served as collaterals in 786 patients. In the remaining 53 patients the collateral blood supply originated from the thoracic arteries. Among the 53 patients, only 7 were females. A chi 2-test revealed the difference to be significant (p less than 0.0005), indicating a sex-linked difference, a male preponderance, in the development of collateral circulation of thoracic origin.
