Noninvasive evaluation of peripheral vascular disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first signs of arterial insufficiency can be subtle because painful ambulation may be caused by many disorders (such as arthritis, spine disease or muscle disorders). A noninvasive peripheral vascular exam which combines three physiologic tests —dopplers, segmental pressures and pulse volume recordings (PVR) — may give you the information needed to rule out or in vascular cause for your patient's pain (refer to Figures 1 and 2).

Angiography for Peripheral Vascular Intervention
The use of endovascular technique for peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has evolved and new devices and techniques were being developed. Even after recent development of noninvasive diagnosis of PVD, angiography is still the gold standard for the evaluation of stenotic and occluded lesions. Without precise angiographic information, endovascular therapy can not be performed. In this chapter, the...

متن کاملNoninvasive, continuous evaluation of peripheral vascular resistance in humans.
We sought a noninvasive alternative method of monitoring peripheral vascular resistance continuously in humans, based on the analysis of arterial pressure waveforms. Radial arterial pressure waveforms were recorded noninvasively with a tonometer and analysed using a neural network method. To test the accuracy of this method, the peripheral vascular resistance was also determined by an invasive ...
متن کاملPredictors of Cardiac Events After Major Vascular SurgeryRole of Clinical Characteristics, Dobutamine Echocardiography, and 2-Blocker Therapy
PATIENTS WITH SEVERE PERIPHeral vascular disease frequently haveunderlyingcoronaryartery disease. Hence, patients undergoing major vascular surgery are at increased risk for cardiac complications during or shortly after surgery. Appropriatepatientmanagement then includes assessment of the perioperative cardiac risk, as well as strategies to reduce this risk. Several investigations demonstrated ...
