Abstract. Restenosis or re-occlusion after femoropopliteal angioplasty or stent implantation is the main limitation of endovascular treatment strategies for peripheral artery disease. Within the last years, balloon catheters with anti-proliferative drug ...
Abstract.Background: Supervised exercise therapy (SET) is an effective option in the management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Unfortunately, poor compliance remains prevalent. This study aimed to assess ...
Summary: An estimated 237 million people suffer from peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and prevalence is still increasing. Currently, we do not have any randomized trials that compare screening to ...
Summary:Background: This study aimed to evaluate the differences between the outcomes of patients with intermittent claudication (IC) and chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) who underwent a hybrid procedure comprising common femoral ...
