Intra-arterial pressure measurements have been made in a group of vascular patients using two different methods. The pull-through method, without sys temic pressure monitoring, is compared with a technique employing simultane ous radial and femoral arterial puncture. In both techniques, pressures are measured at resting flow and during papaverine induced hyperaemia.
