background: atherosclerosis of the peripheral arteries occurs in 12% of individuals at 65 years of age or older. at least 28% of these patients suffer from coronary heart diseases and 10% of them are afflicted with cerebrovascular diseases. to calculate the agreement between two diagnostic tests for peripheral arterial disease (pad), namely ankle brachial index (abi) and ultrasound duplex scann...

objective: peripheral arterial disease (pad) is a state characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremities. diabetes is the main risk factor for pad. material and methods: to assess the prevalence of pad, a cross sectional study was performed on 352 diabetic patients who referred to yazd diabetes research center from 2007 to 2010. vascular assessment was done by measuring t...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the unity of renal artery stenosis and peripheral vascular disease and to find the frequency of incidental renal artery stenosis in the patients with peripheral vascular disease. In this study,it was included 1502 patients that were sent from cardiovascular surgery department to radiology department to do lower extremity digital substraction angiography ...

A review of the Vascular Quality Initiative between 2011 and 2019. Hemodialysis-associated distal ischemia requiring intervention occurred in about 3% patients (970/35,236) who underwent vascular access placement, although 17% developed mild not intervention. Intervention included catheter-based approaches (41%), ligation (23%), revascularization with interval (20%), banding (13%), proximalizat...

Introduction iabetes mellitus (DM) is a multisystem disorder often associated with peripheral vascular disease. The disease is a common cause of small vessel vasculopathy, hence accounting for atherosclerotic disease is often more diffuse in diabetics, with severe involvement of the distal small vessels. Peripheral vascular disease in diabetics is severe and extensive. Despite advances in our u...
