Peripheral Occlusive Arterial Disease

Braun-Falco´s Dermatology

Abstract

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is a chronic disorder of the arterial blood circulation, which mainly affects the vessels of the pelvis and the lower extremities. This is usually based on arteriosclerosis, which leads to stenosis and occlusion of the affected vessels. PAOD is divided into different stages according to the clinical classification of Fontaine or Rutherford. Other diseases resulting in arterial circulatory disorders include diabetic angiopathy, thromboangiitis obliterans, and arterial embolism. This chapter also describes the clinical pictures of hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer (Martorell) and blue-toe syndrome.
