Intermittent Claudication - Therapy
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Intermittent Claudication'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. Common names: Intermittent Claudication; Claudication, Intermittent |

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...
30 Jul 2009 Internal iliac artery stenosis or occlusion has been documented to cause hip pain, erectile dysfunction, and buttock claudication. Endovascular repair for patients with significant stenosis has been well documented, but chronic total occlusion ... Read more...
