Infrapopliteal balloon angioplasty for the treatment of chronic occlusive disease.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: There is little documentation of the effectiveness of percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) of infrapopliteal vessels for the treatment of chronic lower extremity ischemia. This study reviewed our recent experience with infrapopliteal ... Read more...

Aortofemoral bypass to bridge end-stage renal disease patients with severe iliac calcification to kidney transplantation.

30 Aug 2009 Patients undergoing hemodialysis have a lower survival rate than those who receive a kidney transplant. Mortality among hemodialysis patients is approximately 14.5% compared with 1.5% for transplant recipients. One of the exclusion criteria for ... Read more...

Transradial approach to treat superficial femoral artery in-stent restenosis.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Transradial access reduces the incidence of access site complications of percutaneous revascularization procedures. However, in patients with peripheral vascular disease, the adoption of transradial approach for superficial femoral ... 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.
