Iso-osmotic bowel preparation improves the accuracy of iliac artery colour flow duplex examination.

Whiteley, M S, Fox, A D, Harris, R A, Horrocks, M

Colour flow duplex ultrasonography is currently the non-invasive method of choice for investigating the iliac arteries. However it is only 84-92% sensitive in the best hands when compared with...

Quality of life of octogenarians after aneurysm surgery.

Currie, I. C., Scott, D. J., Robson, A. K., Horrocks, M.
