Abstract
In our population, an infrapopliteal site was more often found than a proximal site. Distal localization was associated with diabetes, and proximal localization with smoking. Cardiovascular risk factors exhibited an atypical pattern with a large majority of patients (88Â %) having high blood pressure, two-thirds diabetes, but with very few (7Â %) smokers. Peripheral arterial disease was more often associated with a history of stroke than with ischemic heart disease.
