OBJECTIVE: To understand the prevalence and associated risk factors of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in Chinese diabetic patients and to construct a risk prediction model.
To assess the utility of dual-energy CT scanning (DECTs) with popliteal artery (PA) monitoring in dual low-dose (radiation and contrast) lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA). 135 patients undergoing LE-CTA were prospectively included and divided i...

BACKGROUND: Lower extremity endovascular revascularization for peripheral artery disease carries nonnegligible perioperative risks; however, outcome prediction tools remain limited. Using machine learning, we developed automated algorithms that predi...
Peripheral artery disease is a major atherosclerotic disease that is associated with poor outcomes such as limb loss, cardiovascular morbidity, and death. Artificial intelligence (AI) has seen increasing integration in medicine, and its various appli...

BACKGROUND: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) are significant contributors to diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which severely affect patients' quality of life. This study aimed to develop machine learning (M...
INTRODUCTION: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the leading cause of amputation in the United States. Despite affecting 8.5 million Americans and more than 200 million people globally, there are significant gaps in awareness by both patients and p...
BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of atherosclerosis, affecting over 200 million people worldwide. The incidence of PAD is increasing due to the aging population. Common risk factors include smoking, diabetes, an...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Few studies have evaluated peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with lower extremity wounds by a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning algorithm. We aimed to establish a framework for PAD detection, p...
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains underdiagnosed and undertreated and is associated with an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Imaging provides an approach to identifying patients with PAD. However, the role of integrating imag...
BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common complication of lower limb percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Common risk models are based on cardiology cohorts for percutaneous coronary intervention. They include a mi...
