A comparative study was made of the mean diameters of the abdominal aorta and the common iliac, external iliac and common femoral arteries. The diameter of the external iliac or common femoral arteries when compared with that of the infrarenal abdominal aorta was found to be half, while the diameter of the common iliac artery was considerably larger than half that of the aorta.
