Accuracy of Acceleration Time of Distal Arteries to Diagnose Severe Peripheral Arterial Disease

Accuracy of Acceleration Time of Distal Arteries to Diagnose Severe Peripheral Arterial Disease

ContextAnkle-brachial index (ABI) and toe-brachial index (TBI) are the recommended tests for the diagnosis of lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) and the assessment of its severity, whereas Doppler ultrasound (DUS) is usually used to localize vascular lesions. However, the performance of...
