Lessons from the heart may translate to better treatment for blocked arteries in the legs and elsewhere.Lessons from the heart may translate to better treatment for blocked arteries in the legs and elsewhere.Discusses potential treatment for peripheral artery disease. Manifestations of the disease; Lif...
The study included 28 patients with severely blocked peripheral arteries. MDCT angiography indicated that nine patients should undergo non-surgical endovascular treatment such as percutaneous angioplasties or stent placement. Seven patients had surgery and two had a combination of treatments. "MDCT angiogr...
Morphometry-Based Impedance Boundary Conditions for Patient-Specific Modeling of Blood Flow in Pulmonary Arteries Patient-specific computational models could aid in planning interventions to relieve pulmonary arterial stenoses common in many forms of congenita...

EECP is a non-invasive treatment for angina pectoris by increasing coronary blood flow in ischemic areas of the heart. EECP encourages blood vessels to open small channels around the narrowed or blocked arteries which eventually become "natural bypass" vessels to provide blood flow to heart muscle...
Bypass surgery.In this operation, arteries from other parts of the body are moved to bypass clogged arteries and help oxygen-rich blood reach its target destination. Balloon angioplasty.This procedure helps open clogged arteries that have become partially or fully blocked by opening up the blockage...
Evaluating the Performance of Vascular Feature Extraction Boosting Algorithm for Peripheral Arterial Disease Detection A common vascular disease called peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterized by constricted or blocked arteries in the legs, which lowers blood flow... B. Sivaramakrishna,Ch. N....
PAD occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow to the legs and feet. This can cause pain, cramping, and mobility issues. Venous Insufficiency Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) occurs when veins in the legs fail to return blood efficiently to the heart, ...
In certain situations, without leg surgery, the ulcer may not heal properly.People with poor circulation may need a procedure or surgery to open one or more blocked arteries in the legs. When possible, doctors will try to open the blockage with angioplasty. This is usually done by threading ...
Atherosclerosis or narrowing of the arteries (peripheral artery disease) may also lead to muscle spasms and cramps, again because inadequate blood supply and nutrients are delivered to the muscle. Peripheral artery disease can decrease the flow of blood to the legs, causing pain in the legs with...
Arteries present in the legs, arms, hands, and feet are called peripheral arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the muscles and tissues. When these arteries are blocked and narrowed due to the presence of fat deposits, cholesterol and plaque, it leads to peripheral artery...
