Diagnostic Validation Study. Relationship Between Optical Spectroscopy and Ankle Brachial Index Tests for Peripheral Artery Disease.

Introduction: Ankle brachial index (ABI) is an essential diagnostic test for peripheral artery disease. It has some important limitations so it can´t always be performed. In those cases, tissue oximetry based on near-infrared spectrum could overcome these limitations.

Nodular Proliferation in Parkes Weber Syndrome.

Parkes Weber syndrome (PWS) is characterized by the association of high flow vascular malformation and overgrowth of a part of the body, usually a limb. In a previous review of 10 patients with PWS from our hospital we described a case of congenital short femur and four cases of severe lymphedema. We present a case of PWS associated with a nodular proliferative form not previously described.
