Stenting in peripheral vascular disease

Hospital Medicine, 1999
Metallic stents have made an enormous impact on the percutaneous treatment of arterial and venous disease, allowing a range of lesions to be treated using this minimally invasive technique which was not possible previously. This article details the range of stents which are available and how these have revolutionized the treatment of vascular disease.

Dyslipidemia in peripheral vascular disease

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1996
Peripheral atherosclerosis (carotid and aortofemoral vascular districts) shows some peculiar characteristics with respect to coronary atherosclerosis. In this paper we have reviewed the most recent studies on the relationships between atherosclerosis of the limbs and lipid metabolism.

Diabetes and Peripheral Vascular Disease

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2009
The risk of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is increased in diabetic patients, occurs earlier and is often more severe and diffuse. Endothelial dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction, inflammation and hypercoagubility are the key factors in diabetic arteriopathy.

Cryoplasty for peripheral vascular disease

2005
Background: In the UK, symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) occurs in 5 to 7% of people over the age of 55 years. Cryoplasty offers a new approach by combining the dilation force of balloon angioplasty with the delivery of cold thermal energy to the vessel wall.

Peripheral vascular disease and depression

Journal of Vascular Nursing, 2005
The occurrence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in our aging population is of great proportion affecting approximately 20% of the population, which extrapolates to 8 to 12 million Americans. PVD is a progressive disease that almost always includes one or more comorbidities that impact greatly on severity and management of the disease.

PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASES AND THEIR CURE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954
The subject of peripheral vascular diseases includes the insufficiencies of peripheral blood flow in veins, minute vessels, and arteries. Cure means eradicating the cause; when this is not possible, it means permanently augmenting the blood flow within the residual and collateral vessels.

EXERCISE AND PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1992
The use of exercise as a nonsurgical therapy for peripheral arterial disease has been shown to be effective. Studies have demonstrated improved walking tolerances, alterations in skeletal muscle metabolism, and improved blood distribution with exercise.

Drugs for peripheral vascular disease

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1964
The problem presented by inadequate peripheral circulation is exceedingly common and at times serious. Consequently there has been a search for more and better agents for the treatment of various peripheral obstructive states. As a result, there are now several agents promoted for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease.
