Doppler findings before and after endovascular treatment in peripheral artery disease
Abstract
Aims: Peripheral arterial disease is a significant health problem affecting approximately 50 million people in the United States and Europe, which can lead to disability, limb loss, and poor quality of life. The incidence of cardiovascular disease is 2–3 times higher in patients with peripheral arterial disease. This is the main cause of significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to share our early Doppler findings and technical success in patients who underwent endovascular procedures in our clinic.
Methods: The radiological findings of patients who applied to our clinic for treatment in the last 6 months were evaluated retrospectively and the results were analyzed with descriptive statistical methods.
Results: Patients with peripheral arterial occlusion or sever stenosis treated with endovascular treatment showed significant increase in lower extremity arterial flow evaluated by color Doppler ultrasound regardless of endovascular technique.
Conclusion: Endovascular interventional methods for the treatment of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease are a method that provides an increase in lower extremity arterial flow demonstrated by Doppler ultrasonography.

Keywords : Peripheral arterial disease, Doppler ultrasound, endovascular treatment
