Description:
In aneurysms, a collateral sign for testing the peripheral circulation in the area of A. poplitea. If the main artery of the limb is compressed and then a puncture is made at the periphery; if blood flows, the collateral circulation is probably established. The sign has been used to indicate the most suitable operative method.
