Peripheral vascular disease (PVD), or atherosclerosis of peripheral vessels, is the most common cause of symptomatic stenosis in the human vascular tree. The pathogenetic mechanisms that lead to PVD are similar to those of coronary artery disease (CAD). The risk factors are also similar and inclu...
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 Vascular Disease (PVD): Management 7:25 Peripheral Vascular Disease – Bypass Surgery Differential Diagnosis ArterialaneurysmAneurysmAn aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area of a blood vessel that causes an abnormal widening of its diameter > 1.5 times the size of the native vessel. Aneurys...
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a nearly pandemic condition that has the potential to cause loss of limb or even loss of life. PVD manifests as insufficient tissue perfusion initiated by existing atherosclerosis acutely compounded by either emboli o
Two patients with CLI had calciphylaxis, both of whom had renal disease. Vascular pathology in amputations performed for clinical ALI A total of 10 arteries from 3 amputations (2 AKA and 1 BKA) with clinical ALI were available for analysis. The previous bypass graft was occluded in 1 AKA, ...

. The dorsalis pedis pulse is reported to be absent in 8.1% of healthy individuals, and the posterior tibial pulse is absent in 2.0%. Nevertheless, the absence of both pedal pulses, when assessed by a person experienced in this technique, strongly suggests the presence of vascular disease....

celiac disease and hypothyroidism, skin biopsy has enabled corre- lations to be found between neuropathic symp- toms and small-fiber degeneration.52,65,77–79 Although IENF density is a general marker of axonal integrity in peripheral neuropathies, it cannot be used to directly address the ...
A second phase III trial confirmed this protective effect by sodium thiosulfate against cisplatin-induced hearing loss in children,50 but a lower survival rate was seen in the subgroup of patients with disseminated disease. This observation might suggest that sodium thiosulfate is tumour protective in...
