English translation: arti inferiori - lower limbs

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase: AA.II
English translation:arti inferiori - lower limbs

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Ultrasound
Italian term or phrase: AA.II
Here is an abbreviation that appears at the top of an ultrasound report.

The heading reads: ECO-COLOR-DOPPLER VEN. AA.II Urgente.

In the context, 'VEN.' is 'venoso' ... but what is AA.II?

(I'm fairly sure that the last two letters are II)

Thank you all.
