Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) results from narrowing of the peripheral arteries that supply oxygenated blood and nutrients to the legs and feet, This pathology causes symptoms such as intermittent claudication (pain with walking), painful ischemic ulcerations, or even limb-threatening gangrene. It is generally believed that the vascular endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells that inv...

In remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), brief, reversible episodes of ischemia with reperfusion in one vascular bed, tissue, or organ confer a global protective phenotype and render remote tissues and organs resistant to ischemia/reperfusion injury. The peripheral stimulus can be chemical, mechanical, or electrical and involves activation of peripheral sensory nerves. The signal transfer to the ...

introduction: peripheral vascular disease (pvd) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with coronary artery disease (cad). we aimed to perform lower limb perfusion scan (llps) in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) and estimate prevalence of pvd in subgroups with normal and abnormal mpi results. we also compared quantitative indices of llps in patients with and wit...

For patients with “no-option” chronic limb-threatening ischemia, a final attempt can be made for limb salvage in the form of percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA). In present study, we describe five cases pDVA using BeBack crossing catheter (Bentley InnoMed GmbH; previously, GoBack catheter; Upstream Peripheral Technologies). From November 2021 to July 2022, underwent catheter. The demo...
