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...

Arteriovenous fistula complicating directional atherectomy of the popliteal artery.

29 Sep 2009 We describe a case of a 70-year-old man with a critical popliteal artery stenosis treated by directional atherectomy and complicated by a huge arteriovenous fistula. A 70-year-old man, previously treated by bilateral femoropopliteal bypass, was ... Read more...

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...

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.
