The most common cause of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is atherosclerotic vascular disease. PAD because of atherosclerosis is relatively highly prevalent, affecting >200 million people worldwide, including an estimated 8 to 10 million individuals in the United States alone. Atherosclerotic PAD is typically identified in the clinical setting when patients present with claudication or critica...
متن کاملبررسی محل های شایع تنگی و انسداد در بیماری انسدادی شرایین اندام های تحتانی در 100 مورد آنژیوگرافی DSA
Background: Occlusive disease of lower extremity arteries are so common and cause severe stenosis or complete local obstruction in arteries as it need treatment. The treatment could be surgery or interventional procedures like angioplasty or implant of stent. Sometimes such treatments are impossible because of severity or location of complication and cause amputation.The purpose of this study i...
متن کاملMultimodality imaging approach for serial assessment of regional changes in lower extremity arteriogenesis and tissue perfusion in a porcine model of peripheral arterial disease.
BACKGROUND A standard quantitative imaging approach to evaluate peripheral arterial disease does not exist. Quantitative tools for evaluating arteriogenesis in vivo are not readily available, and the feasibility of monitoring serial regional changes in lower extremity perfusion has not been examined. METHODS AND RESULTS Serial changes in lower extremity arteriogenesis and muscle perfusion wer...
متن کاملHypothyroidism and the risk of lower extremity arterial disease
BACKGROUND Although an independent association between hypothyroidism and coronary artery disease has been demonstrated, few studies have examined the association between hypothyroidism and peripheral arterial disease. In the current study, we test the hypothesis that there is an independent association between hypothyroidism and lower extremity arterial disease. METHODS We retrospectively co...
متن کاملImproving the level of amputation of the lower extremity after therapeutic endovascular intervention for patients with critical limb ischemia
Methods: We conducted a comparative study of two groups of patients suffering from arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities, and the decision taken to amputate above the knee for both of them. A group of patients selected for a therapeutic peripheral intervention, and the effect of this intervention in improving the level of amputation studied and calculated statistically. The study cond...
