  Press release : NICOX CompanynewsGroup
PAOD is associated with a high level of morbidity with an estimated 30% of patients expected to die within five years of PAOD diagnosis.
Chronic PAOD is a marker of widespread atherosclerosis, and patients with intermittent claudication must be considered a high-risk population for the development of clinical manifestations of cardiovascular diseases.
In fact, the principal symptom of PAOD is leg pain during walking (intermittent claudication) due to a reduction of blood flow in lower limb arteries leading to cyclic episodes of ischemia during walking followed by reperfusion during rest.

 Peripheral artery occlusive disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medicine (vascular surgery), peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD, also known as peripheral vascular disease or PVD) is a collator for all disease caused by the obstruction of large peripheral arteries, which can result from atherosclerosis, inflammatory processes leading to stenosis, an embolism or thrombus formation.
Upon suspicion of PAOD, the first-line test is the ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI/ABI) which is a measure of the fall in blood pressure in the arteries supplying the legs.
Many PAOD patients also have angina pectoris or have had myocardial infarction.

 ADVANCE for LPNs Online | Editorial
PAOD is characterized by stenosis or occlusion of a peripheral artery by an atherosclerotic plaque, resulting in inadequate muscle perfusion and ischemia.
Patients with PAOD may be as physically limited as patients with class II or III heart failure.
Dyslipidemia is as prevalent in patients with PAOD as in patients with coronary artery disease.

 Exercise Daily
PAOD is characterized by atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries of the leg that can slowly starve muscle of needed nutrients and oxygen.
The researchers will follow such markers as the growth of new capillaries in leg muscles, the occurrence of programmed cell death (apoptosis) within leg muscle, and blood levels of vascular progenitor cells, which are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for blood vessel repair.
Patients who are interested in enrolling in the PAOD trial should contact Leslie Kelly, recruitment coordinator, at (919) 660-6739 or Kelly045@mc.duke.edu.

 VasoCare Therapy Approved In Europe For Blocked Peripheral Arteries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
PAOD is a serious cardiovascular condition that affects millions of people in Europe and North America.
Therapies for PAOD have been limited to marginally-effective drugs and surgical intervention in the form of bypass surgery, angioplasty or amputation in later stages.
PAOD is the leading cause of approximately 200,000 lower limb amputations performed in Europe and North America each year.

 NCX 4016 - Peripheral Arterial Obstructive Disease (PAOD)
Normally, the first symptom of PAOD is intermittent claudication, a disabling pain on walking which can be relieved by rest.
The disease is believed to be caused by atherosclerosis and diabetes, which leads to the dysfunction of the endothelium in the lower limbs and decreases the ability of the arteries to adequately supply the increased demand for oxygen that occurs in the muscles during exercise.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of NCX 4016 in PAOD and the primary endpoint was the change in maximal treadmill walking distance (absolute claudication distance) after six months, where NCX 4016 showed a non-significant advantage over placebo (p=0.276).

 eMedicine - Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease : Article by Vincent Lopez Rowe, MD
PAOD is most common with the distal superficial femoral artery (located just above the knee joint), which corresponds to claudication in the calf muscle area (the muscle group just distal to the arterial disease).
The risk factors for PAOD are the same as those for coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease and include diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history, sedentary lifestyle, and tobacco use.
Palpation of pulses should be attempted from the abdominal aorta to the foot, with auscultation for bruits in the abdominal and pelvic regions.

The disease is believed to be caused by atherosclerosis and dysfunction of the endothelium in the lower limbs, which decreases the ability of the arteries to adequately supply the increased demand for oxygen that occurs in the muscles during exercise.
These results are a disappointment for PAOD patients, as current therapies are associated with only modest efficacy and there is a clear need for more effective drugs.
However, PAOD is known to be an extremely challenging area for clinical development, due to the high variability in the course of the disease and the marked placebo effect that is expected in any study."
