    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_artery_disease

    Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a form of peripheral vascular disease. Vascular refers to both the arteries and veins within the body. PAD differs from peripheral veinous disease. PAD means the arteries are narrowed or blocked—the vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood as it moves away from the heart to other parts of the body.

    The feet's insensivity to pain can easily be established by 512 mN quantitative pinprick stimulation. [3] In diabetes, peripheral nerve dysfunction can be combined with peripheral artery disease (PAD) causing poor blood circulation to the extremities (diabetic angiopathy). [4] Around half of the patients with a diabetic foot ulcer have co ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_limb_threatening...

    Critical limb ischemia is diagnosed by the presence of ischemic rest pain, and an ulcers that will not heal or gangrene due to insufficient blood flow. [3] Insufficient blood flow may be confirmed by ankle-brachial index (ABI), ankle pressure, toe-brachial index (TBI), toe systolic pressure, transcutaneous oxygen measurement (TcpO2 ), or skin perfusion pressure (SPP).

  7. Acute limb ischaemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_limb_ischaemia

    With proper surgical care, acute limb ischaemia is a highly treatable condition; however, delayed treatment (beyond 6 to 12 hours) can result in permanent disability, amputation, and/or death. Early detection and steps towards fixing the problem with limb-sparing techniques can salvage the limb.

  8. Chronic venous insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_venous_insufficiency

    If the impaired vein function causes significant symptoms, such as swelling and ulcer formation, it is referred to as chronic venous disease. [3] It is sometimes called chronic peripheral venous insufficiency and should not be confused with post-thrombotic syndrome in which the deep veins have been damaged by previous deep vein thrombosis .

    Early detection and management of PAES can lead to a favorable outcome. [23] However, prolonged compression of popliteal artery can lead to extensive arterial damage and permanent claudication or limb loss. [28] Complications of PAES may include: [13] Distal arterial thromboembolism. Popliteal artery thrombosis. Popliteal artery stenosis. Limbs ...
