Background The coronary artery calcium score is a widely known independent predictor of
cardiac events. Tibial artery calcification had been reported as an amputation risk, but the …

Purpose: To investigate whether the severity of lesion calcification assessed by the novel
peripheral artery calcification scoring system (PACSS) was associated with clinical …

Purpose Peripheral arterial calcification is an important predictor of outcomes after both
conservative and endovascular treatment. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-based …

Purpose: The calcium score is a measure of vessel wall calcification and has clinical
applications when studied in different vascular beds. The presence of vascular calcification …

Objective Tibial artery calcification (TAC) is associated with increased risk of amputation and
mortality in peripheral artery disease. We sought to investigate whether the severity of TAC …

Background We conceived a new method, runoff grade, to evaluate runoff after
endovascular therapy (EVT). We evaluated the validity of using runoff score based on …

Background Peripheral artery calcium scoring systems are commonly used in clinical trials
to categorize calcium severity but there are little data on their accuracy and reliability. The …

Purpose We investigated the effect of severe calcification of the femoropopliteal artery on
intervention outcomes in patients with ischemic tissue loss. Materials and Methods A …

Objectives Peripheral artery disease with calcification is extremely prevalent in the elderly.
Due to the calcification, it requires a different clinical approach than the more common …

Background Vascular calcifications (VCs) may be a prognostic factor for outcome after
endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Semiquantitative analysis with …
