A Rare Case of Intermittent Calf Pain: Gastrocnemius Fatty Degeneration
The Annals of African Surgery, 2022 Intermittent calf pain is also called claudication. It is common in patients with spinal canal stenosis or those with peripheral vascular occlusion disorders. It is rarely found in local muscle pathology.

Crossroads between peripheral atherosclerosis, western-type diet and skeletal muscle pathophysiology: emphasis on apolipoprotein E deficiency and peripheral arterial disease [PDF]
, 2017 Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process that, in the presence of hyperlipidaemia, promotes the formation of atheromatous plaques in large vessels of the cardiovascular system.

Acute lower limb ischemia due to thrombo-embolic arterial occlusions in two previously healthy men with markedly elevated Lp(a) [PDF]
, 2006 Lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) is a well-documented risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Its role in acute thrombo-embolic occlusions of peripheral arteries is not known.

Does sticky blood predict a sticky end? Associations of blood viscosity, haematocrit and fibrinogen with mortality in the West of Scotland [PDF]
, 2003 There is increasing evidence that blood viscosity and its major determinants (haematocrit, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen) are associated with an increased risk of incident cardiovascular events; however, their associations with mortality are not ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work introduces a theragenerative 3D‐printed biodegradable stent with Janus nanoarchitecture for spatially controlled vascular healing. A luminal tantalum ion–implanted surface accelerates endothelialization and hemocompatibility, while an abluminal sirolimus/poly‐L‐lactic acid–tantalum layer provides sustained drug release and suppresses smooth ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endovascular treatment (EVT) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions has progressed recently; however, severely calcified lesions remain difficult to treat owing to challenges in guidewire passage and limited balloon or stent expansion. We report the case of a 79‐year‐old Asian male with intermittent claudication who had previously undergone

Silence of the limbs: pharmacological symptomatic treatment of intermittent claudication [PDF]
, 2010 Several oral "vasoactive" drugs claim to increase walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication (IC). Naftidrofuryl, cilostazol, buflomedil, and pentoxifylline are the most studied molecules.

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1437-1446, April 2025.• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.
