Abstract

Atherosclerosis obliterans of the lower limb arteries in the initial stage is characterized by intermittent claudication depending on the severity of its changes. The progression of peripheral artery disease may lead to artery stenosis, then their occlusion. Risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis obliterans are: older age, male gender, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension.
