Background: Iliac artery atherosclerotic disease may cause intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia.

The main cause of intermittent claudication in lower limbs is peripheral vascular disease.

We compared characteristics and outcomes of patients with intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia.

Clinical failure was associated with residual renal artery stenosis and presence of intermittent claudication.

Results: 33% of participants with peripheral arterial disease had intermittent claudication.

Background: Angina and intermittent claudication impair function and mobility and reduce health-related quality of life.

Individuals with intermittent claudication experienced a greater decline in both legs compared with those without claudication.

Methods: Sixteen patients with PAD and intermittent claudication and 13 healthy controls of the same age participated.

Conclusion: Changes in WELCH scores correlated with changes observed on the treadmill in patients with intermittent claudication.

A total of 179 cases of intermittent claudication were identified during the 12-year follow-up.

The correct management of PAD population includes the prevention of cardiovascular events and relief of symptoms, most commonly intermittent claudication.
