Endovascular treatment for chronic atherosclerotic occlusive mesenteric disease: is stenting superior to balloon angioplasty?
Long-term follow-up post endovascular treatment for chronic mesenteric ischemia demonstrated a considerable overall secondary patency rate of 94%. However, the long-term secondary patency rate was higher in patients post initial stenting compared to PTA alone.
Handheld dynamometry measures of ankle plantarflexor strength are only moderately correlated with ankle power generation during walking. This clinical test of ankle plantarflexor strength is a poor predictor of calf muscle function during gait in people with traumatic brain injury.
