Medial artery calcification in peripheral artery disease
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023 Medial artery calcification (MAC) is a distinct, highly regulated process that is often identified in small and mid-sized arteries of the lower extremities. It is associated with advanced age, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.

Peripheral artery disease [PDF]
BMJ, 2018 ### What you need to know Peripheral artery disease affects around 13% of the Western population who are more than 50 years old.1 It is most commonly due to atherosclerosis, where an atherosclerotic plaque causes arterial stenosis or occlusion. This results in a reduction in blood flow to the affected limb.

Epidemiology of Peripheral Artery Disease [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2015 New data on the epidemiology of peripheral artery disease (PAD) are available, and they should be integrated with previous data. We provide an updated, integrated overview of the epidemiology of PAD, a focused literature review was conducted on the epidemiology of PAD.

Burden of Coronary Artery Disease and Peripheral Artery Disease: A Literature Review
Cardiovascular Therapeutics, 2019 Background. Atherothrombotic disease, including coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD), can lead to cardiovascular (CV) events, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, limb ischemia, heart failure, and CV death. Aim.

The “needle re-entry” technique for infrainguinal arterial calcified occlusive lesions
CVIR Endovascular, 2021 Background Vascular calcification is a predictor of poor clinical outcome during and after endovascular intervention. Guidewire crossing techniques and devices have been developed, but chronic total occlusions (CTOs) with severe calcification often ...

A hidden problem: peripheral artery disease in women
European Heart Journal - Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes, 2023 Peripheral artery disease (PAD) has a huge social and economic burden and is an important contributor to the global health burden. Sex differences in PAD are apparent, with recent data suggesting equal if not greater prevalence in women, and women having

CVIR Endovascular, 2021 Background The patency achieved by conventional peripheral interventions for atherosclerotic lesions in the common femoral artery (CFA), called the “no stenting zone”, is not superior to that achieved by surgical endarterectomy due to calcified plaque ...

The “Direct tip injection in occlusive lesions (DIOL)” fashion
CVIR Endovascular, 2021 Background The successful intervention for peripheral artery disease is limited by complex chronic total occlusions (CTOs). During CTO wiring, without the use of intravascular or extravascular ultrasound, the guidewire position is unclear, except for ...
