Abstract

Vascular endoscopy using rigid instruments has been known for the last 40 years and was first described by the vascular surgeon Vollmar (1969) at the University of Ulm in Germany. Its clinical use was obviously limited so that this new diagnostic method could not be introduced as a routine procedure. Angioscopy was reserved for the field of vascular surgery due to the large diameters of the endoscopes which need a surgical approach and the possibility of bloodless inspection of the vessel. Percutaneous inspection of the vessels was not possible in the 1950s. After the development of flexible fibreglass optics this method has been accepted in many medical specialities. Technical improvements allowed increasingly subtle visualization in all areas of angioscopic application (Beck 1993; Ferris et al. 1985; Mehigian and Olcott 1986). Over the last 8 years ultrathin endoscopes have been developed (Auster et al. 1984; Beck et al. 1992).
