Title: Peripheral Artery Disease, Metabolic Syndrome and Endovascular Procedures
Abstract: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has a great morbidity, it is estimated that PAD prevalence is 10% of the population and rising to 15-20% in people over 70 years of age.PAD causes a reduction in the blood supply and generally begins as claudication or develop into a more serious condition as critical ischemia.Critical limb ischemia (CLI) can lead to tissue loss or amputation and patient are high risk of death.We will address the role of MetS in PAD and Endovascular Procedures (EP).In this brief communication we will discuss the relationship between MetS, PAD and EP.
