Peripheral Artery Disease: Diagnosis, Ankle–Brachial Index and Risk Management

…Atherosclerotic lesions generally affect large and medium sized arteries. Pathological features include plaque formation with calcium deposition, medial thinning, destruction of muscular and elastic tissue…

Color Doppler
