Histopathological Characteristics of Chronic Arterial Occlusive Diseases in Bangladesh
Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Arterial occlusive disease is very common in advanced countries and also not uncommon in developing countries like Bangladesh. This disease accounts for morbidity and mortality of patients with vascular pathology. There are two varieties of arterial occlusive diseases- Chronic and acute arterial occlusive disease. Among these, chronic arterial occlusive disease (CAOD) has received less attention. However, the use of simple non-invasive diagnostic techniques in recent years has allowed identification of asymptomatic CAOD and shown that the prevalence of the diseases is several fold higher than previously estimated- 3% in those below 60 years, and to over 20% at 75+ years. CAOD is associated with a relative risk of 4 to 5 times for all causes of mortality. In about 25% of those with CAOD, the disease progresses over time and leads to loss of mobility, gangrene or amputation and death.
