Anatomical Study of the Arteries of the Skin on Amputation Legs

Anatomical Study of the Arteries of the Skin on Amputation Legs

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE Qualitatively describe the distribution of cutaneous arteries in patients with long-term occlusive arterial disease.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE To compare the distribution of cutaneous arteries observed on the legs of arteritic patients with that observed on non-arteritic legs (from bodies given to science).

Arterial patient coming to CHRU Nancy, in the Vascular and Endoluminal Surgery Department, to undergo leg amputation.

Usually, after the amputation of the leg in the operating theatre, the surgical waste is destroyed.

Instead of being destroyed, the leg will be used for research.
