The limb-specific effects of aging upon vessel structure and function are not well understood.
Consequently, in 12 young (26±2 yr) and 12 old (72±1 yr) healthy subjects, we utilized …

by making direct time-course measurement of oxygen saturation in the femoral/popliteal …

Background and Objectives Arterial grafts have a better long-term patency rate than
saphenous vein (SV) when used in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) …

Media sclerosis (MS) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) may coincide, particularly in type
2 diabetics (T2D) and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In contrast to non …
