Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a condition characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the lower extremities. While PAD is a major risk factor for lower-extremity amputation, it is also accompanied by a high likelihood for symptomatic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Although mu...

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis. Although clinical history in conjunction with ankle–brachial index and evaluation of segmental pressures/waveforms is sufficient to diagnose PAD in a large percentage of patients, imaging is required for disease local...
