[Animal experiments on predilection of the superficial femoral artery of the adductor canal for arteriosclerosis].

The premature manifestation of the arteriosclerosis in the adductor canal makes this vascular region to a first-class site of predilection. These localised mechanical morphological factors were malingered by means of polyvinylchloride splinting in animal experiment. All degrees of severity of the arteriosclerotic vascular wall changes were shown histologically. The changes of the arteries were developed essentially slighter under medication of pyridinolcarbamat, however, they could not be prevented.
