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 …

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 …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: The concept of patency and limb salvage are physician-oriented endpoints in
critical limb ischaemia (CLI). These endpoints have failed to enhance function after …

Objective Arterial calcification is associated with an increased risk of limb events, including
amputation. The association between calcification in lower extremity arteries and the …

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

Objective Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are at high risk for adverse
limb outcomes and mortality. Using the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) prediction model to …

Purpose: To evaluate the roles of small artery disease (SAD) and medial arterial calcification
(MAC) in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and to identify any …

Objective The clinical implication of the coronary artery calcium score (CS) is well
demonstrated. However, little is known about the association between lower extremity …

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 …
