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

Coarctation of the Aorta
Coarctation of the aorta would cause symptoms in both lower extremities. The symptoms of deep venous thrombosis are very different and would not cause a decrease in arterial pressure. [daviespublishing.com]

Inguinal Pain
Although the numbness of the right lower limb that began immediately after the impact gradually improved, the patient was admitted to our hospital with right inguinal pain and swelling. [surgicalcasereports.springeropen.com]

Pruritus Vulvae
One year before admission pruritus vulvae occurred. Six months later there was the onset of chronic fatigue. [nejm.org]
Workup
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]

Mural Thrombus
A 32-year-old woman suffered a right femoral artery embolic occlusion from an abdominal aortic mural thrombus associated with caval perforation by a stainless steel Greenfield Filter. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
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]

Prognosis
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]
[…] disease showed no difference in prognosis after similar adjustment compared with patients without proximal disease. [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]
Etiology
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]
Posttraumatic occlusion was thought to be the etiology (Figures 1,2,3&4). [ispub.com]

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]

Pathophysiology
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]
Prevention
This case describes a mechanism of femoral artery occlusion by a suture-mediated APCD and suggests a method of prevention and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
A support catheter is obligatory to prevent kinking and cold saline irrigation is used to avoid overheating. [angiologist.com]
