Nitinol stenting improves primary patency of the superficial femoral artery after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in hemodialysis patients: a propensity-matched analysis.

24 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Although percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) has become a common therapeutic standard for peripheral artery disease (PAD), high restenosis rates in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) remain a major problem. Nitinol stent ... Read more...

Should embolectomy be performed in late acute lower extremity arterial occlusions?

4 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: We analyzed the embolectomy results and complications of patients who were operated on after a diagnosis of late acute arterial occlusion of lower extremities. METHODS: A total of 122 patients operated on in our clinic between 2004 and ... Read more...

Ischemic prevention for stent implantation via brachial artery in children.

30 Jul 2009 An 11-year-old boy received stent implantation for peripheral pulmonary stenosis through the left modified Blalock-Taussig shunt from the left brachial approach because of the hairpin-shaped route from a femoral or carotid approach. A temporary ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Arterial Occlusive Diseases'

Definition: Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES. They are characterized by greatly reduced or absence of blood flow through these vessels. They are also known as arterial insufficiency.
