Aneurysms of the external iliac artery are extremely rare. We present a case of a middle-aged male patient with calf claudication owing to peripheral arterial embolism on the basis of a thrombosed true aneurysm of the external iliac artery caused by cystic media necrosis. Vascular imaging
A 32 years old female was admitted to hospital due to acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and liquid stools. Physical examination was normal except for pain on her left inferior abdominal quadrant without peritoneal irritation signs. An abdominal CAT-scan suggested thrombosis at celiac trunk,
This paper represents a review, by experts, of current opinion and information on intermittent claudication (IC) and the role that cilostazol plays in its treatment. IC is a common and debilitating condition that has a significant adverse impact on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). It is
Medical therapy to improve symptoms, stabilise the underlying vascular disease and improve lower limb outcomes is an important and effective adjunct to lifestyle modification and surgical or endovascular interventions in patients with IC. Randomised placebo controlled trials have shown that the
Exercise training remains a therapy of choice in intermittent claudication (IC). However, too exhaustive exercise may cause ischaemic injury and inflammatory response. We tested the impact of three-month treadmill training and single treadmill exercise on antioxidant gene expressions, cytokine
The wasting syndrome (cachexia) characterized by anorexia, malaise, and weight loss is observed in many patients with cancer or chronic infection. The excessive levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)/cachectin reported in 50% of cancer patients exhibiting clinically active disease may therefore
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine that affects endothelial cells' function by changing their antithrombotic potential to a net procoagulant effect. Only a few data have so far been reported for the pathophysiologic role of TNF in vascular diseases in the involvement of
OBJECTIVE
To assess prospectively the early time course of Transforming Growth Factor beta-1 (TGFbeta-1), basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFalpha) as possible contributors to restenosis development after angioplasty.
METHODS
Prospective Study.
METHODS
The
Vascular congestion and liver swelling have long been recognized as features of the hepatotoxic effects of acetaminophen (AAP) in mice and rats and have been proposed as contributing factors to the eventual extent of necrosis produced. Neutrophil accumulation in the hepatic microcirculation has been
The most common symptom of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is intermittent claudication. The severity of PAD is closely related with the risk of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, and death from vascular causes. Despite the higher prevalence of PAD, far less importance is
Biopsy specimens from the gastrocnemius or rectus femoris muscle of 20 patients with intermittent claudication were studied using fresh frozen cryostat sections and histochemical reactions for adenosine triphosphatase, nicotinamide adenine nucleotide dehydrogenase reductase and phosphorylase and
OBJECTIVE
Inflammation contributes to the development of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and may contribute to intermittent claudication by adversely affecting vascular and skeletal muscle function. We explored the association of inflammation to maximal walking time (MWT) in patients with
All reported cases have occurred in the anterior tibial or rarely peroneal compartments. Case I and V in this series follow this same pattern. Case II and III are unusual in that they are the first recorded cases of this syndrome occuring in the calf of a leg. In Case IV the syndrome was present
This strange lesion has been described as colloid degeneration, adventitial cyst, adventitial cystic disease, cystic degeneration of the popliteal artery. The disease was also observed in other localizations and the first case, which was described in 1946 by Atkins and Key (I) concerned an iliac
Peripheral arterial occlusive disease has been described frequently as a disease affecting predominantly men. There is only a few information available concerning peripheral vascular disease in the female. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine risk factors in relation to
