[Use of the echotomography in the exploration of aneurisms of the abdominal aorta (author's transl)].

Twenty-six cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm were shown by echotomography, at of a series of 80 subjects in whom a pulsatile abdominal mass was perceived clinically or suspected. There seems to exist an excellent correlation between the results echotomography and arteriography concerning either the lesion itself or the ocasional complications such as partial thrombosis, dissection and rupture.
