ABSTRACT Background Clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for femoropopliteal revascularization. Long‐term studies in routine practice are limited. Aims The aim of this study was to assess long‐term outcomes after DCB angioplasty for femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease in a real ...

Incorporating an exercise rehabilitation programme for people with intermittent claudication into an established cardiac rehabilitation service : a protocol for a pilot study. [PDF]
Introduction: Current UK guidance for the treatment of intermittent claudication (IC) states that supervised exercise programmes (SEPs) should be offered as first-line treatment [1], prior to surgical interventions.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common complication among diabetic neuropathy patients, often associated with abnormalities in thrombocyte indices. This study aimed to assess the impact of neuromuscular taping (NMT) on thrombocyte indices in diabetic neuropathy patients with PAD.

Run-Off Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) for Discriminating the Underlying Causes of Intermittent Claudication [PDF]
Aim To evaluate run-off computed tomography angiography (CTA) of abdominal aorta and lower extremities for detecting musculoskeletal pathologies and clinically relevant extravascular incidental findings in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) and

12 dogs with bilateral knee osteoarthritis were treated with either meloxicam or pentoxifylline over 60 days. Pentoxifylline showed superior reductions in inflammatory markers (CRP, IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNF‐α) and improved joint biochemical parameters, particularly hyaluronic acid levels and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP).

Management of intermittent claudication
Medical management of PAD is a considerable challenge. Although patients typically present with IC, there is a substantial pool of subclinical PAD patients. PAD, whether symptomatic or not, confers a marked cardiovascular risk; with affected patients dying of heart attack or stroke, identification of index patients and aggressive medical treatment can ...

Endovascular treatment of lower extremity arteries is associated with an improved outcome in diabetic patients affected by intermittent claudication [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (LE-PAD) is a highly prevalent condition among diabetic patients, associated with reduced walking capacity and a high incidence of cardiovascular events.

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.

Review: Quality of Life in Lower Limb Peripheral Vascular Surgery [PDF]
PURPOSE: Vascular intervention studies generally consider patency and limb salvage as primary outcomes. However, quality of life is increasingly considered an important patient-oriented outcome measurement of vascular interventions.

Systematic Review of Economic Models Used to Compare Techniques for Detecting Peripheral Arterial Disease [PDF]
Background and objective Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common condition, in which atherosclerotic narrowing in the arteries restricts blood supply to the leg muscles. In order to support future model-based economic evaluations comparing methods
