Atherectomy With Multimodal Embolic Protection for Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions
ABSTRACT Severe calcification in femoropopliteal lesions remains a clinical challenge to achieve both the technical and long‐term success in endovascular therapy. Although atherectomy is an effective treatment for calcified lesions, it is associated with the risk of distal embolization, even with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs), and ...

Popliteal Artery Compression Caused by Intraneural Ganglion Cyst of the Tibial Nerve
Summary:. Intraneural ganglion cysts are rare, benign mucinous cysts that arise within the epineurium of peripheral nerves. They most commonly involve the peroneal nerve, whereas involvement of the tibial nerve is exceptionally rare.

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose A reduction in exercise capacity (EC) can be observed in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). However, CPET is a costly maximal exercise test, limiting its routine use. This study aimed to analyze the criterion validity, convergent validity, and test‐retest reliability of the ...

A Primary Care Approach to the Diagnosis and Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease [PDF]
The objectives of this work are: (1) Be able to recognize characteristic symptoms of intermittent claudication (2) Diagnose PAD on the basis of history, physical exam, and simple limb blood pressure measurements (3) Recognize the significance of ...

A risk score for predicting peripheral arterial disease in individuals 75 years or older [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the elderly is high. Most are asymptomatic and the sensitivity of the physical exam is low. In Brazil, little is known in regard to PAD risk factors in the elderly.

Real-life adaptations in walking patterns in patients with established peripheral arterial disease assessed using a global positioning system in the community: A cohort study [PDF]
Objective: Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic condition most commonly presenting with intermittent claudication (IC). IC limits walking ability and may negatively affect health-related quality of life.
