Peripheral artery disease: Introduction and conservative treatment
Abstract:
Therapeutic goals are reducing cardiovascular risk and and improving the circulation in the leg. Therapeutic options are surgical and endovascular procedures as well as conservative treatment. The main focus for patients with intermittent claudication is to enhance quality of life. Patients with critical ischemia however are threatened by the loss of an extremity. In these cases, a conservative treatment is usually not sufficient and circulation must be quickly ameliorated by an endovascular or surgical procedure.
