Overview of the Role of Duplex Ultrasound for Treatment and Surveillance of Peripheral Arterial Disease

In Vivo Validation of Patient‐Specific Pressure Gradient Calculations for Iliac Artery Stenosis Severity Assessment

“…However, it can be challenging to select stenoses that are hemodynamically significant and warrant treatment. This holds, in particular, for iliac artery stenoses with lumen reduction of ≈50% because these so‐called equivocal stenoses cause clinical symptoms in some patients, but no symptoms in others . The main clinical challenge is, therefore, to determine which equivocal stenoses are hemodynamically significant, particularly in case of multiple stenoses.…”

Vascular Medicine: A ‘Primary’ Specialty

“…In this issue, Fish et al provide a comprehensive review of its current role not only for initial diagnosis, but also for surveillance of patients who have undergone complex revascularization procedures. 1 The subclavian vein has become a routine percutaneous entry site to insert a variety of cardiac devices. Although such procedures are lifesaving for many patients, the clinical presentation of arm swelling and pain that may result is not innocuous and is usually the result of a stenosis at the cardiac device entry site, or even complete thrombosis of the subclavian vein.…”
