Abstract

Although the prevalence peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of the lower extremities is a widespread, the clinical importance of this disease is still underestimated compared with other atherosclerotic manifestations such as coronary heart disease or cerebrovascular disease. In the United States, the treatment of PAOD accounts for more than 100,000 surgical procedures annually (Rutkow and Ernst 1986; Rofsky and Adelman 2000). PAOD may cause a wide range of symptoms with substantial morbidity, including claudication, rest pain, tissue loss, and gangrene. Up until 1992, prevalence and incidence studies mostly considered only the symptomatic forms of PAOD (Dagenais et al. 1991; Fowkes 1991). Two research groups, led by Vierodt in Tubingen and Jaquet in Paris (Vierordt 1855), found an angiographically proven high percentage of oligosymptomatic patients without claudication and with well-compensated stenoses or occlusions due to an immobile lifestyle.
