Claudication: exercise vs endoluminal revascularization (CLEVER) study update.

3 Aug 2009 The Claudication: Exercise vs Endoluminal Revascularization (CLEVER) Study is a prospective multicenter randomized clinical trial designed to compare the relative clinical and cost-effectiveness of invasive revascularization with stents to ... Read more...

Subintimal angioplasty: predictors of long-term success.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: To determine the clinical outcomes and success rates after percutaneous subintimal angioplasty (SIA) in patients with lower-limb occlusive lesions causing intermittent claudication (IC) or critical limb ischemia (CLI) at midterm to ... Read more...

Bilateral asymmetric popliteal entrapment syndrome treated with successful surgical decompression and adjunctive thrombolysis.

21 Jul 2009 Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is the most common cause of lower leg claudication in patients younger than 50 years. The different types of PAES can result in different rates of arterial damage, leading to aneurysmal degeneration or ... 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.
