To develop a disease-specific measuring instrument for quality of life in German-speaking patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease in the stage of critical ischemia and to test it in a prospective study for validity and reliability. ⋯ The FLeQKI is well suited for determining the specific impairments of life quality in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease at the stage of critical ischemia. Its psychometric scores for validity and reliability corresponded to those of the SF-36.

To evaluate local transarterial chemoperfusion (TACP) of therapy-resistant, locally recurrent malignant tumors and lymph node metastases in the pelvis with respect to clinical response, tumor response and survival. ⋯ Since tumor-related complaints were improved in 54% of the cases and control of tumor growth (PR+SD) was achieved in 67% of the cases, TACP for recurrent pelvic malignancies should be considered as a palliative oncological treatment option.
