Prophylactic use of the silver-acetate-coated graft in arterial occlusive disease: a retrospective, comparative study.

3 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Silver-coated vascular polyester prostheses were developed not only for the treatment of prosthetic graft infections, but also for use as prophylaxes. Although some studies describe the use of these prostheses in cases of infection, there ... Read more...

Isolated femoral endarterectomy: impact of SFA TASC classification on recurrence of symptoms and need for additional intervention.

20 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: Atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the femoral artery is associated with symptoms ranging from claudication to tissue loss. This study examined the clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of isolated femoral endarterectomy (FEA) as well as ... Read more...

The walking impairment questionnaire: an effective tool to assess the effect of treatment in patients with intermittent claudication.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: Assessment of walking distance by treadmill testing is the most commonly used method to evaluate the effect of treatment in patients with peripheral arterial disease. However, treadmill testing is time consuming, relatively expensive, and ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Intermittent Claudication'

Definition: A symptom complex characterized by pain and weakness in SKELETAL MUSCLE group associated with exercise, such as leg pain and weakness brought on by walking. Such muscle limpness disappears after a brief rest and is often relates to arterial STENOSIS; muscle ISCHEMIA; and accumulation of LACTATE.
