Corkscrew collaterals in atherosclerosis obliterans

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Oct 16;5(12):1948-1949. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1229. eCollection 2017 Dec.

Abstract

Marked calcifications in the femoral artery obscured imaging of the artery in computed tomography (CT) and duplex ultrasonography. The presence of corkscrew collateral arteries in patients with Atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) indicates total artery occlusion.

Keywords: Arteriogenesis; atherosclerosis; duplex ultrasonography; peripheral arterial disease.
