Transcutaneous oxygen tension (tcPO2) was measured at the foot and chest wall in 12 normal subjects and 62 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). The results showed that the resting tcPO2 at the foot and the chest wall was significantly lower in asymptomatic patients (p < 0.01 at the foot and p < 0.01 at the chest wall) and patients with mild and moderate intermittent claudication (p < 0.01 and p < 0.01, respectively) than in normal subjects. The postischemic response test (T
The preliminary results of this study suggest that the measurement of resting tcPO2 is useful in the diagnosis of patients with mild and moderate ASO. Measurement of resting tcPO2 coupled to the T
