520			_aThe narrowing of the peripheral arteries which are present in the legs, stomach, arms, and head is called peripheral artery disease. It is caused by atherosclerosis which narrows and blocks arteries in critical regions of the body. In atherosclerosis, deposits of fat, cholesterol, and other substances, called plaque, build up inside the walls of arteries. It can be diagnosed by angiography, ankle-brachial index, Doppler and ultrasound imaging, computed tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance angiography. It can result in critical limb ischemia, stroke, heart attack, gangrene, and amputation. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of peripheral artery disease. Its aim is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
