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...

Femoropopliteal prosthetic bypass graft infection due to Mycobacterium abscessus localized by FDG-PET/CT scan.

29 Sep 2009 A patient with postvascular graft placement presented with bacteremia but no localizing symptoms. Our standard infected graft workup of computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasound scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and additional laboratory ... Read more...

The role of biomarkers and genetics in peripheral arterial disease.

27 Sep 2009 Men and women with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers than those without PAD. Observational studies link higher levels of several inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein ... Read more...
