Objective: The purpose of this study was to further the development of a compliant vascular graft with a preliminary assessment of the elastic properties of the femoropopliteal artery in subjects with and without loner limb peripheral vascular disease.Methods: This prospective controlled study was set in a university department of surgery. Using an ultrasound scan wall tracking system with the simultaneous measurement of brachial blood pressure, measurements of femoropopliteal artery wall motion were undertaken in 11 patients with peripheral vascular disease (group 1), in 11 older control subjects who were matched for blood pressure, age, and sex (group 2), and in 12 younger control subjects (group 3). Diametrical compliance and stiffness index were determined for the common femoral artery, the proximal superficial femoral artery, the distal superficial femoral artery (DSPA), and the midgenicular popliteal artery.Results: All the arterial segments in group 1 showed a trend towards increased stiffness and less compliance than the group 2, age-matched control vessels, with significantly lower distensibility noted at the common femoral artery (mean compliance of 6.2% vs 14.1% mm Hg-1 x 10(-2), respectively; P
