Chronic Limb Ischemia

Background: The Ankle brachial index (ABI) measurements are commonlyused inscreening and management of Peripheral Vascular Disease. In recent studies, Anklebrachial index (ABI) is utilized as a predictor of future atherosclerotic vascular disease andall-cause mortality. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate utility of pre andpost peripheral vascular intervention ankle-brachial index (ABI) assessmentinpatientswith thechronic limb ischemia. Study Design: Quasi experimental study. Setting: National Instituteof Cardio-Vascular Disease (NICVD), Karachi, Pakistan. Period: January 2013 to June 2014.Methodology: The study included 23 patients hospitalized. According to study inclusion/exclusion criteria, patients of chronic limb ischemia on clinical ground and the vascular lesionsof lower limb according toTrans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC scoreclassification II)were evaluated and recruited. The lesions were further classified into three types, Aortoilliac,Femoropopliteal andTibioperoneal. Ankle brachial index (ABI) was classified according toAmerican Diabetic Association. The study was approved by the ethical committee of NICVD.Data was analyzed using SPSS 20. Inc. Results: The mean age of the enrolled patients was57.86±6.56 years. Majority of the patients were male 18(78.3%). The commonly found peripherallesion was femoropopliteal in 9(39%), TASC grade A was commonwith 8 (62%) of cases. ABIscore done pre and post procedure showed a significant difference with a (p-value<0.05) andthere was an improvement of ABI scores in all the lesions after peripheral vascular intervention.Conclusion: The study results concluded that there was animprovement in ABI score afterintervention of peripheral vascular surgery for lower limb segment and recommended its utilityfor the assessment in Peripheral Vascular Disease intervention.

Atherosclerotic Process

<p>Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a chronic disabling illness that frequently results in the occlusion of arteries in lower limbs and may cause ischemia, gangrene, or infection. The single most significant factor contributing to both the onset and progression of PVD is smoking, which has addictive properties. Once smoking becomes a habitual behavior, combined with the atherosclerotic process, a disastrous pathway ensues. The aim of this project was to gain an understanding of the beliefs of patients with PVD who smoked. Data were obtained from a sample of participants with a known history of PVD who have had a previous vascular intervention and who are established patients in a vascular surgeon’s private office where N=50. The majority of participants were male (n=31; 63%) 65-74 years of age (n=18; 36%), were unemployed (n=30; 60%) and have smoked for greater than 51+ years (n=13; 26%). A scale that was developed guided by The Behavioral beliefs subscale revealed that PVD patients enjoyed smoking, smoking helped them to relax, and that they believed that they were addicted to smoking. Results from the normative beliefs indicated that the spouse or significant other, children or those whom they lived with, did not approve of their smoking and also that their healthcare provider had discussed smoking cessation with them. The control beliefs subscale results demonstrated that most patients had attempted to quit smoking, believed it would be a difficult behavior to stop, believed that they would require the assistance of a patch or medication and feared the withdrawal symptoms. Exploring the beliefs and thought process of patients who smoked provided a rich body of knowledge which can afford the healthcare professional with the ability to better understand the smoking experience as seen through patients’ eyes.</p>

SummaryPlatelets tests, acute phase reactants and serum lipids were measured in patients with diabetes mellitus and patients with peripheral vascular disease. Patients frequently had abnormal platelet tests and significantly increased acute phase reactants and serum lipids, compared to young healthy control subjects. These differences were compared with multidiscriminant analysis. Patients could be separated in part from the control subjects with variables derived from the measurement of acute phase proteins and serum lipids. Platelet test results improved the separation between diabetics and control subjects, but not between patients with peripheral vascular disease and control subjects. Diabetic patients with severe retinopathy frequently had evidence of platelet activation. They also had increased acute phase reactants and serum lipids compared to diabetics with absent or nonproliferative retinopathy. In patients with peripheral vascular disease, only the fibrinogen concentration was related to the degree of vessel damage by arteriography.
