Background—The 1-year restenosis rate after balloon angioplasty of long lesions in below-
the-knee arteries may be as high as 70%. Our aim was to investigate the efficacy of a …

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a result of the atherosclerotic narrowing of blood vessels
to the extremities, and the subsequent tissue ischemia can lead to the up-regulation of …

The primary goals of treatment for critical limb ischemia (CLI) are alleviation of ischemic rest
pain, healing of arterial insufficiency ulcers, and improving quality of life. These goals are …

Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-based therapy is promising for critical limb ischemia (CLI)
treatment, especially in patients with diabetes. However, the therapeutic effects of diabetic …

Objective Current clinical classification of superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusions as
defined by TASC II guidelines is limited to length and calcifications analysis on 2D …

Objective: Conventional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for long lesions in the
below-the-knee (BTK) arteries in patients presenting with critical limb ischemia (CLI) has …

Hindlimb ischemia (HLI) is an arterial occlusive disease that exposes the patients to the risk
of limb gangrene and loss. Polarization of macrophages is related to HLI-induced …

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) results in devastating complications such as lower-
limb amputations. In this study, a genome-wide plasma microRNAs (miRNA) sequencing …

The small G protein RhoA and its downstream effector Rho-kinase play an important role in
various physiopathological processes including ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Reactive …

OBJECTIVES: Demonstrate that continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) may be an
alternative with adequate analgesia and a lower incidence of side effects for ischemic pain …
