	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.
		Peripheral artery occlusive disease is commonly divided in the Fontaine stages:
		Arterial thrombosis or embolism has a dismal prognosis, but is occasionally treated successfully with thrombolysis.

	Peripheral Vascular Occlusive Disease
		Peripheral artery occlusive disease is an extremely common and serious problem affecting more than 20 percent of patients over 70 years of age in this country.
		Peripheral arterial disease generally results from atherosclerosis or “hardening of the arteries” leading to impaired circulation to the extremities and other vital organs.
		Once peripheral arterial occlusions have advanced to the degree that patients are truly disabled or have limb-threatening lesions, invasive management of their peripheral vascular disease is indicated.

		Aortoiliac disease, sometimes called aortoiliac occlusive disease, refers to disorders of the two major blood vessels that feed the lower half of the body—the aorta and the iliac artery.
		Carotid artery disease is a condition in which the arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain become blocked.
		Renal artery disease is a condition in which an artery leading to one or both of the kidneys becomes blocked.

	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).
		Except in the rare case of a congenital absence of a pulse (eg, persistent sciatic artery), the absence of a pulse signifies arterial obstruction proximal to the area palpated.
		Peripheral vessels in patients with diabetes may have extensive medial layer calcinosis, rendering the vessel resistant to compression by the pneumatic cuff.

		SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- April 3, 2003 -- Ultrasound thrombolysis appears to be equally effective as a single intervention or in combination with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for recanalization in patients with peripheral occlusive artery disease (POAD).
		The Acolysis system is available in Europe, but has not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
		Any question regarding a medical diagnosis, treatment, referral, drug availability or pricing should be directed to either a licensed physician or to the product's manufacturer.
