Sommaire de l'article

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to the obstruction of large arteries of the body. The prevalence of PAD in the general population is estimated to be around 12% to 14% and increases up to 20% of those over 70 years old. It is of interest that 70% to 80% of affected individuals are asymptomatic and only a minority requires revascularization or amputation.
