Purpose: To validate 3 angiographic scoring systems for peripheral artery calcification using
intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as the gold standard. Methods: The study employed …

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 …

Vascular calcification (VC), particularly medial (Mönckeberg's medial sclerosis) arterial
calcification, is common in patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease and is …

Objectives Vascular calcification is a well-known phenomenon and affects coronary and
carotid arteries as well as other arterial beds. Presence of arterial calcification is associated …

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 …

Background In peripheral artery disease, two different types of calcification are frequently
observed, ie, medial and intimal calcification. Aims The aim of this study was to determine …

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 …

Calcifications are common in the tunica intima and tunica media of leg arteries. There is
growing interest in medial arterial calcifications, as they may be modifiable with treatment …
