Evaluating hemodynamic response to treatment in patients with peripheral arterial disease using dynamic vascular optical spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

Tracking changes in the vasculature of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may identify the need for follow-up treatment within only weeks after an initial intervention, enabling timely support and improving patient outcomes.

Aim

We aim to evaluate dynamic vascular optical spectroscopy's (DVOS's) ability to accurately monitor the hemodynamics of affected arteries in patients with PAD after a surgical intervention and predict long-term clinical outcomes.

Approach

A DVOS system non-invasively monitored the blood flow through 256 lower extremity arteries in 80 PAD patients immediately before, immediately after, and 3 to 4 weeks after they underwent a surgical intervention.

Results

Hemodynamic changes measured by DVOS after a revascularizat
