“…Furthermore, the diameters of the right and left CIAs were also assessed to screen for peripheral artery disease (PAD), AAA or isolated iliac aneurism. A CIA > 18 mm in men and >15 mm in women is considered aneurismal (Speziale et al., 2022). Only the mean and maximal values between the right and left CIA measurements were used in the analysis.…”

AimTo evaluate the association between apical periodontitis (AP) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCDV).MethodologyA total of 65 periodontally and systemically healthy patients (age ≥ 40 years) were included in the study. Periapical status was assessed through dental examination and periapical radiographs; 33 subjects had AP (AP+), while 32 acted as control (AP−). Moreover, data regarding their periapical index (PAI) score and the Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index were recorded. All subjects underwent echo‐colour Doppler assessment of carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT), carotid plaques, degree of stenosis using the North American Symptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial (NASCET) method, maximum diameter of the abdominal aorta (maximum AA) and common iliac arteries (CIA) diameters. Furthermore, peripheral blood flow was also measured using the ankle‐brachial index (ABI). Simple and multiple regression analyses were performed.ResultsAmong AP+ patients, 57.58% disclosed at least one sign of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis. Multiple regression analysis identified AP as a significant risk indicator for carotid plaques [OR = 4.87 (1.27, 18.98; p = .021)] and marked carotid intima‐media thickenings (OR = 14.58 [1.22, 176.15], p = .035). A significant association was established between AP and other cardiovascular (CV) variables (CIMT, NASCET, and maximum AA). On the contrary, a higher PAI score does not correlate to increased odds of carotid alterations, and the presence of AP did not prove any significant change in CIA and ABI. No significant correlation was established between DMFT and other variables.ConclusionsResults from the current study highlight that the presence of AP may be regarded as a risk indicator for ASCVD, with AP being associated with 5‐fold increased odds of having carotid plaques and 15‐fold increased odds of having marked carotid intima‐media thickenings. Further studies should be conducted in order to verify whether AP treatment could be beneficial for ASCVD signs.

“…The vessel most frequently affected by this disease is the popliteal artery. Blood flow is blocked by a gelatinous substance that expands the surface of the vessel from the outside [1]. This disease usually affects middle-aged people (40-50 years), who have no history of vascular disease.…”

We present the case report of a 43-year-old male, professional sport user, complaining of pain in his right lower extremity. We have discussed the symptoms, diagnostics with its differentiation, treatment methods and their efficacy. The diagnosis of cystic adventitial disease was made on the basis of diagnostic imaging such as Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical procedure is the treatment of choice, to which the patient was qualified.
