The incidence of pseudoaneurysm after transfemoral arterial catheterization depends on the type of intervention. The main risk factor is too brief a period of manual compression.

The data indicate that 100 mg aspirin is no less effective in the prevention of restenosis after femoropopliteal PTA than a 1000-mg dose and has fewer side effects.

Our data indicate that Lp(a) is generally lower in those with peripheral arterial occlusive disease and Type 2 diabetes than in non-diabetic individuals. The increased risk for restenosis with rising levels of Lp(a) is set at a lower Lp(a) in diabetes and may be more harmful for diabetic patients.

Decisive for the course of retinopathy in patients with IDDM of long duration and secondarily optimised metabolic state is the duration of illness and especially the degree of fundal changes when intensified insulin treatment is undertaken.
