Summary:Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) frequently leads to hospital admission. Sex related differences in in-patient care are a current matter of debate. Patients and methods: Data were provided from the German national in-...
Summary:Background: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a heterogenous group of diseases, which have pulmonary fibrosis, restrictive lung disease, and decreased diffusion capacity as a common final path. Premature death frequently ...
Summary: Endovascular arterial revascularisations for the treatment of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease are constantly increasing in importance and number due to the changing age structure and high numbers of comorbidities in the ...
Summary:Background: Symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is difficult to non-invasively diagnose in the presence of calcified, media sclerotic arteries that are incompressible by blood pressure cuffs. Standard ankle-brachial index (ABI) ...
Summary:Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) impacts 3–12% of patients worldwide and is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory pathways which are also common to venous thromboembolism (VTE), but there is a ...
Summary:Background: The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) increases with age. Platelet activation has been linked to PAD. Platelet distribution width (PDW) is a measure of platelet function. This study aimed to investigate ...
Summary:Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects more than 202 million people worldwide. Several studies have shown that patients with PAD are often undertreated, and that statin utilization is suboptimal. European and American ...
Summary:Background: The search for an optimal interventional treatment strategy in infrapopliteal peripheral artery disease remains in the focus of interest. Whether drug-coated balloons (DCB) might enhance interventional outcomes after ...
Summary:Background: Even though nutrition was demonstrated to have an impact on chronic atherosclerotic disease, there is a paucity of corresponding recommendations for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). A Mediterranean Diet ...
Summary: With an increasing global burden of patients with chronic peripheral artery disease (PAD) the safe and effective provision of lower limb revascularisation is a growing medical need. Endovascular procedures for the treatment of PAD ...
Summary:Background: The MIMICS-3D study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the BioMimics 3D Vascular Stent System for the treatment of symptomatic femoropopliteal artery disease in a real-world patient population. Patients ...
Summary:Objective: The main risk factors for cardiac events, and particularly for the development of atherosclerosis, are diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking. Patients with a traumatic spinal cord injury (...
Summary:Background: Previous observational studies reported a wide variation and possible room for improvement in the treatment of patients suffering from symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). Yet, systematic assessment of everyday ...
Summary:Background: As evidence concerning the impact of socioeconomic factors on the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is sparse, we assessed the association of education and area-level factors (population density, type of ...
Summary:Background: Peripheral artery disease presents an increasing healthcare burden worldwide. Day-case angioplasty in a secondary care setting can be a safe and effective means of meeting the growing demand for lower limb revascularisation. We ...
Summary:Background: Isolated femoral artery revascularisation (iFAR) represents a well-established surgical method in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) involving common femoral artery disease. Data for iFAR in multilevel PAD are ...
Summary:Background: Although epidemiological data suggest an association between periodontitis (PD) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD), it is currently unclear whether treatment of PD influences the severity of PAD. Patients and ...
Summary:Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the most common manifestations of atherosclerosis affecting more than 200 million people globally but little is known about its epidemiology in Middle East populations, particularly in Arab ...
Summary:Background: There is no study available concerning specifically the role of underweight in PAD prevalence. Patients and methods: Individuals ≥ 65 years living in urban and rural areas of two countries in Central Africa (Central ...
