==Overview==
When symptoms suggestive of [[peripheral artery disease]] are present, clinical evaluation along with non invasive testing are enough to establish the diagnosis. Invasive diagnostic studies are anatomic studies that are not used for diagnosis but rather for preoperative evaluation of the anatomy of the [[vessels]]. The invasive diagnostic studies, which are basically anatomic studies that rely on imaging, include conventional [[angiography]], CT angiography, [[MRA]] and duplex [[ultrasound]].

===Conventional Angiography===
* Conventional [[angiography]] is considered as the standard in the invasive evaluation of [[peripheral artery disease]].
* It is very [[accurate]] in providing detailed evaluation of the structures of the [[vessels]].
* The down sides of conventional [[angiography]] are:
** Risk of damage at puncture site.
** Risk of distal [[embolization]].
** Limitation of use because of the administration of contrast material:

Overview

When symptoms suggestive of peripheral artery disease are present, clinical evaluation along with non invasive testing are enough to establish the diagnosis. Invasive diagnostic studies are anatomic studies that are not used for diagnosis but rather for preoperative evaluation of the anatomy of the vessels. The invasive diagnostic studies, which are basically anatomic studies that rely on imaging, include conventional angiography, CT angiography, MRA and duplex ultrasound.

Other Imaging Findings

Conventional Angiography

  • Conventional angiography is considered as the standard in the invasive evaluation of peripheral artery disease.
  • It is very accurate in providing detailed evaluation of the structures of the vessels.
  • The down sides of conventional angiography are:
    • Risk of damage at puncture site.
    • Risk of distal embolization.
    • Limitation of use because of the administration of contrast material:
      • In people will renal insufficiency
      • In patients with allergy to contrast.[1][2]
