PAD (Peripheral artery
disease)
• is a common circulatory
problem in which narrowed
arteries reduce blood flow to
your limbs.
• When you develop peripheral
artery disease (PAD), your
extremities — usually your legs
— don't receive enough blood
flow to keep up with demand.
This causes symptoms, most
notably leg pain when walking
(claudication)
Symtomps
• Painful cramping in one or both of your hips, thighs or
calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking
or climbing stairs (claudication)
• Leg numbness or weakness
• Coldness in your lower leg or foot, especially when
compared with the other side
• Sores on your toes, feet or legs that won't heal
• A change in the color of your legs
• Hair loss or slower hair growth on your feet and legs
• Slower growth of your toenails
• Shiny skin on your legs
• No pulse or a weak pulse in your legs or feet
• Erectile dysfunction in men
causes
• same as those for atherosclerosis
• PAD is two times as common in males as females
- Smoking
- DM
- Dyslipidemia
- HT
- obesity
- Others (inflammatory mediators, genetics)
Diagnosis
• History and physical
exam
• Ankle – brachial
index (ABI)
• DUS (doppler
Ultraosund)
• Angiography
• Other (CT and MRA)
Complications
• Critical Limb Ischemia
• Stroke and Heart attack
Treatment
• Lifestyle (stop smoking, regular exercise 35-50 minutes, 3-4 times/week)
• Medication risk factor
• Antiplatelet
• Statin
• Cilostazol improve symtoms
• Revascularitation
ALI/CLI
ALI/ CLI (Limb Ischemia)
• Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) occurs
when there is a sudden lack of blood
flow to a limb
• Acute limb ischaemia is caused by
embolism or thrombosis, or rarely by
dissection or trauma. Thrombosis is
usually caused by PAD. while an
embolism is usually of cardiac origin
• In contrast to acute limb ischemia,CLI
results from PAD that develops over
time
When a limb is ischemic in the non-acute (chronic) setting,
the condition is alternatively called PAD or CLI
Symtomps ALI
• Pain
• Pallor (pale appearance of the limb)
• Paresthesias (abnormal sensations in
the limb)
• Perishingly cold CLI
• Pulselessness - Rest pain
• Paralysis is a continuous burning pain of the lower leg. It begins,
or is aggravated, after reclining or elevating the limb and
is relieved by sitting or standing. It is more severe than
These symptoms are called "the six P's'" intermittent claudication
- Tissue lost
Tissue loss is the development of
arterial insufficiency ulcers or gangrene due to
peripheral artery disease
Causes
Diagnosis
• History and physical
exam
• Ankle – brachial
index (ABI)
• DUS (doppler
Ultraosund)
• Angiography
• Other (CT and MRA)
Treatment
• Life style modification
• Control risk factors
• Medical treatment : vasodilator,
pentoxifylin, antiplatelet,
antikoagulan, statin, analgesic
• Surgical management: angioplasty,
stenting, endartrectomy, arterial
bypass, amputation
CVI
CVI
• Occurs when the vein valves become dysfunctional and impairs venous
blood return.
• Venous blood escapes from its normal antegard path of flow and refluxes
backward down the veins into an already
• More people lose work time from vein disorders then from artery disease. 1.
• Veins:
• Hold 75% of the blood
volume
• Are organized into
superficial and deep veins
connected by perforating
veins
• Have valves for
unidirectional flow
• Are low pressure systems
(10-15mmHg)
• Have thin walls (superficial
veins have thicker walls than
deep veins.)
Anatomy
The venous network in the lower extremities
commonly affected by CVI is divided into the
following 3 systems:
• Superficial veins (including the great
saphenous vein [GSV], the small saphenous
vein [SSV], and their tributaries)
• Deep veins (including the anterior tibial,
posterior tibial, peroneal, popliteal, deep
femoral, superficial femoral, and iliac veins)
• Perforating or communicating veins
