Epidemiology of Peripheral Artery Disease and Polyvascular Disease

Abstract: Atherosclerotic lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is increasingly recognized as an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that affects >230 million people worldwide. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors, including advanced age, smoking, and diabetes, are strongly linked to an increase risk of PAD. Although PAD has been historically underappreciated compared with coronary artery disease and stroke, greater attention on PAD in recent years has led to important new epidemiol… Show more

“…Lower extremity arterial disease is a frequent manifestation of atherosclerosis that is estimated to affect more than 200 million people worldwide, of whom nearby 40 million are living in Europe. In the United States, 8.5 million people above the age of 40 years suffer from PAD, which is associated with significantly increased morbidity, mortality, and quality of life impairment [ 1 , 33 , 34 ]. The total number of individuals affected by PAD increased by 23% in the last 10 years as a result of population growth, global ageing of the population, increased incidence of DM worldwide and of smoking particularly in low- and middle-income countries [ 1 , 5 , 35 ].…”

“…A systematic review showed that half of PAD cases are due to smoking (5). Compared with non-smokers, people who have ever smoked are still at higher risk of developing PAD (6,7). Meanwhile, passive smoking also increases the risk of vascular damage or the diagnosis of PAD (8).…”

“…Falanga et al documented delivering autologous BM-MSCs topically using fibrin spray. The cells remained viable and could migrate to the wound after application, showing promising results in both acute and chronic wounds [ 140 ]. A case report of a thermal burn patient, mostly full-thickness, showed increased wound healing with no hypertrophic scars after autologous administration of amniotic and hUC-MSCs [ 141 ].…”
