Objective: Describe clinical and paraclinical characteristics and vascular lesions in patients with femoral-popliteal artery stenosis
Subjects and Methods: Prospective method, follow-up over the research period, on 70 patients with a sample size of 80 legs, at 108 Central Military Hospital from August 2017 to August 2019.
Results: In the study, males accounted for 60.0% of the sample. The average age of patients was 72.51 ± 10.41 years. The most common clinical stage was Rutherford 5 (43.8%). The average ABI in the study was 0.59 ± 0.23. The majority of femoral-popliteal artery lesions were classified as TASC D, comprising 93.8%. The average lesion length was 11.14 ± 3.71 cm. The rate of infected ulcers was 8.8%. The prevalence of artery stenosis in the femoral-popliteal arteries and popliteal arteries was 48.8% and 45%, respectively. The prevalence of artery occlusion in the femoral-popliteal arteries and popliteal arteries was 37.5% and 32.5%, respectively.
Conclusion: Cross-sectional study on femoral-popliteal artery stenosis aids in enhancing patient diagnosis and treatment while contributing to the development of more effective intervention methods.
