Blood flow restriction training / Occlusion Training (also abbreviated BFR training [1]) or Occlusion Training or KAATSU is an exercise and rehabilitation modality where resistance exercise, aerobic exercise or physical therapy movements are performed while using an Occlusion Cuff which is applied to the proximal aspect of the muscle on either the arms or legs.

Outside compression of a blood vessel, e.g. by a tumor or in the case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome; Sickle cell disease (abnormally shaped red blood cells) Induced g-forces which restrict the blood flow and force the blood to the extremities of the body, as in acrobatics and military flying
Kaatsu (Japanese: 加圧, often styled as KAATSU or KA A TSU [1]) is a patented exercise method developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato that is based on blood flow moderation exercise (or vascular occlusion moderation training) involving compression of the vasculature proximal to the exercising muscles by the Kaatsu Master device.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is when the valves in the leg veins don’t work right and inappropriately allow blood to flow backward, back into the legs/feet from the effects of gravity.
Weakened Venous valves: these are crucial towards ensuring upward flow to the heart from the lower extremities. If weakened, they may fail to close properly which leads to backwards blood flow/blood pooling. This can lead to slower blood flow in the veins. [8] Ultrasonography-Doppler ultrasound
After sewing, an arteriogram is run to make sure normal blood flow is returned to the leg through the new bypass graft and the incision is closed using staples or stitches. Depending on the patient's blood pressure, blood pressure medicine may be given via IV during and after the procedure to keep it within normal range.
Restenosis is the recurrence of stenosis, a narrowing of a blood vessel, leading to restricted blood flow. Restenosis usually pertains to an artery or other large blood vessel that has become narrowed, received treatment to clear the blockage, and subsequently become re-narrowed.
