The superficial femoral artery is commonly affected in patients presenting with intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia. [angiologist.com]

Case presentation A 42-year-old woman presented with right calf claudication at 200 m, which resolved on resting. She was an occasional smoker, was non-diabetic and had no family history of arterial disease. [casereports.bmj.com]

Case presentation A 59-year-old Caucasian woman presented with rest pain, numbness and cramps in the operated limb after hip replacement. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Furthermore, the certainty of an above-the-knee amputation healing is not present in these patients; therefore, a hemodynamic assessment of the healing potential of an above-the-knee amputation is required. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Non-invasive workup, including a duplex sonogram, demonstrated distal aortic stenosis involving the aortoiliac bifurcation. She underwent an abdominal aortogram with bilateral lower extremity arterial run-offs. [cureus.com]

Laboratory testing A laboratory workup is helpful only for identifying accompanying silent alterations in renal function and elevated lipid profiles. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Diagnostic workup Head CTs and/or MRIs were performed to confirm the diagnosis of posterior circulation infarction, and angiography was recommended to locate the occlusion, responsible arteries, collateral flow, and other vascular lesions that may affect [jbiomeds.com]

Less morbidity and better cost-effectiveness are suggested to be achieved in the treatment of chronic lower limb ischaemia with endovascular treatment compared to surgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Less morbidity and better cost-effectiveness are suggested to be achieved in treatment of chronic lower limb ischaemia with endovascular treatment comparing to surgical treatment. [clinicaltrials.gov]

For treatment of TASC A lesions, the choice of treatment is endovascular, whereas it is surgery for TASC D lesions. [intechopen.com]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, treatment and prognosis of PAE in primary SFA PTA + stent. [journals.plos.org]

Patients with AIL usually have a poorer prognosis than those with other LEAD. [escardio.org]

The Fogarty catheter revolutionized the prognosis of these patients. Now, ever-greater advances are made, and even less invasive treatments gain space. [intechopen.com]

Differentiating between the 2 concepts is important in order to establish the therapeutic indication and the prognosis in patients with PAD. [revespcardiol.org]

Posttraumatic occlusion was thought to be the etiology (Figures 1,2,3&4). [ispub.com]

Emergency cesarean delivery and maternal diabetes or very high BMI of infant are risk factors for arterial occlusion and iatrogenic vascular injuries must also be considered in the etiology [ 2 ]. [omicsonline.org]

The two principal etiologies of acute ischemia of the lower limbs are arterial embolism and in situ thrombosis of an atherosclerotic artery. [intechopen.com]

Acute arterial occlusion is associated with increased morbidity, significant disability, and emergent operation in high-risk patients. [1][2][3] Etiology The most common cause of acute limb ischemia is in situ thrombotic occlusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Finally, from an epidemiologic point of view, the association between the ABI and the presence of vascular disease in other territories is also very interesting. [revespcardiol.org]

E27 - E30 __________________________ Introduction and Epidemiology Isolated atherosclerotic involvement of the common femoral artery (CFA) and its bifurcation are rare and reports consisting large patient series are unavailable. [vasculardiseasemanagement.com]

OBJECTIVE: Recently, we have shown that shear stress regulates the angiogenic potential of endothelial cells in vitro by an Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2)-dependent mechanism; however its pathophysiological significance in vivo was not clear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology[edit] Normally endothelial cells release prostacyclin and nitric oxide (NO) which induce relaxation of the smooth muscle cells, and reduce aggregation of platelets. [en.wikipedia.org]

From the pathophysiologic point of view, ischemia of the lower limbs can be classified as functional or critical. [revespcardiol.org]

Pathophysiology Single or multiple arterial stenoses produce impaired hemodynamics at the tissue level in patients with PAOD. Arterial stenoses lead to alterations in the distal perfusion pressures available to affected muscle groups. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Such delays in recognition and treatment can result in irreversible but potentially preventable tissue injury. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It helps prevent wounds or foot ulcers from becoming infected and painful or resulting in gangrene. Good foot care also helps prevent amputation. [msdmanuals.com]

A distal filter device is strongly recommended to prevent the risk of distal embolization with the use of this atherectomy system [7-8]. [cureus.com]

This can be used to divide medication usage into broad categories of primary and secondary prevention.[17] Primary prevention[edit] For the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) 2016 guidelines [en.wikipedia.org]
